The Department is not providing financial assistance to farmers who are managing flood prevention infrastructure arising from land reclamation measures under Irish Land Commission initiatives of the past.

However, the Department operates a number of schemes which can support farmers in mitigating flood risk, such as afforestation and agri-environment schemes.
