Longford Westmeath TD Micheal Carrigy says the State has always stood up when supports are needed.

A Midlands TD says he's confident new Government schemes to combat rising fuel and fertliser costs will be enough to help farmers.

The Fuel Support Scheme came in as an emergency measure in April after nationwide protests, with €62m left unspent.

€31m is being used to extend the scheme, while the remaining €31m is being added to €15m from the EU Fertiliser Exceptional Aid package.
