Agriculture Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2026-01-29
============================================================

David Maxwell (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

Will the Minister consider the current compensation paid to farmers who have to cull animals under a notifiable disease order, such as TB or bird flu, and can this be reviewed so that a fair compensation is paid, over and above the market value of the animals, to include a proportion of the consequential loss? I ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.
