510. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the way in which compensation paid to vegetable farmers whose crops were destroyed by the cold snap of late 2009 and early 2010 was in accordance with EU state aid rules; if he will now apply the same criteria to tillage farmers on the south coast of Cork, who suffered winter barley crop losses in late 2015 and early 2016 as a result of the storm belt which in turn created a sea mist that facilitated a salt drift to blow inland and do untold damage to the tillage crops of the farmers; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that these same farmers have taken a double hit in that after replanting their crops they had to endure a salvaging operation in order to harvest same.
