Seán Canney (IND), Galway East

I want to raise the fodder scheme that has been announced for the Shannon Callows by the Minister, Deputy McConalogue. While the scheme is welcome, there are a number of issues arising, including the fact that some farmers' land was flooded that may not be visible from satellite pictures but was saturated to such an extent that the grass could not be harvested. These farmers may be excluded from the scheme. Likewise, there are some farmers whose lands flooded along the River Suck, just up from that, and again they are not included in the scheme. Will the Department and the Minister consider reviewing the scheme to ensure that those people who had a loss of fodder in that region would be compensated?
