My Department continues to monitor the situation in relation to the flooding of farmland in general and farmyards where it arises.

A study to determine the feasibility of any future once-off targeted scheme for Voluntary Farm Building Relocation is being undertaken.  My Department has evaluated a range of at-risk farmyards, impacted by flooding, to see if any alternative remedial works can be undertaken to protect farm buildings at risk of flooding and is currently considering this evaluation.
