Kevin Boxer Moran: Emergency scheme for farmers needed following Shannon flooding

The outgoing Minister of State for the Office of Public Works and Flood Relief, Kevin Boxer Moran has said there needs to be an emergency scheme for farmers following recent flooding along the river Shannon.
The former Independent TD for Westmeath-Longford, who narrowly lost his seat in the recent election, told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that in his lifetime he had never seen the Shannon at the levels it reached at the weekend.
