Fodder deliveries to farms get under way amid calls for urgency

FODDER deliveries were on the way last evening to farms isolated by the severe flooding in parts of Co Galway.

The Irish Farmers Association (IFA) organised the supplies to places where farmyards, dwelling houses, cattle sheds and access roads are all flooded.

Fodder supplies are being brought to Gort, Ballinasloe and Banagher in an operation co-ordinated by the IFA office in Athenry.
