Relief fund for 2013 fodder shortage to reach €2.8m, says Coveney
Mr Coveney, who gave the figure in a written reply to a Dáil question by Noel Harrington TD, said the allocation was in light of the difficulties experienced by farmers in sourcing fodder supplies in April/May 2013.
He said he announced the allocation of funding for an imported fodder transport scheme, designed to reduce the cost to farmers of imported forage (hay, silage, haylage) from outside Ireland.
