Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney said support will be based on replacement cost of damaged silage, hay, straw and concentrates, where there is evidence of flooding damage not covered by insurance.

Application forms for the scheme will be available on the agriculture.gov.ie website, at the Department’s local offices, or Teagasc offices, from today, and must be submitted before Friday, January 22.
