Additional fodder relief for farmers

Murphy calls for additional fodder relief for farmers

Fianna Fáil Candidate for Roscommon Galway Councillor Eugene Murphy is calling for extra fodder relief for Farmers effected by the persistent flooding and rainfall in recent months.

Councillor Murphy states that many farmers effected by flooding have and continue to suffer from the effects of flooding.

He also states that he and his canvassers have come across many Farmers suffering from the continued effects of flooding.

Many Farmers have had to move livestock from sheds away from flooded housing.

Many farmers going through the early lambing  season cannot let sheep with young lambs out to pasture because of the dreadful wet and saturated conditions in every field.

This is putting huge pressure and expense on farmers in keeping sheep with young lambs indoors and cost associated with feeding and disease control.

Cllr Eugene Murphy is calling for a ounce off payment of up to €1,000 for all livestock farmers to get them through this difficult time as many people are at breaking point with the persistent rainfall and problems resulting from this he concludes.
