Northern Ireland Assembly allocates £500,000

for flooding hardship in agriculture.

Quote from Hansard (15/12/2008) below:

(The Minister of Finance and Personnel)

In addition, the Executive also agreed to the following allocations. There will be £500,000 for flooding hardship

in agriculture. With the downturn in the economy expected to place significant downward pressure on

the price of agricultural produce, that funding will put those farmers already suffering because of the severe

flooding in the summer in a more stable position as they move into increasingly difficult trading conditions.
