Farmers in Clare and across the country are hitting out at the Minister for Agriculture over delays in payments under the 2 million euro fodder aid scheme.
Minister Simon Coveney announced the scheme earlier this month after hundreds of acres of land become submerged in flood water, with sheds and feed damaged.
300 farmers applied for funding but none have yet received payments.
The Department of Agriculture says applications are being verified and processed, while it's confirmed that a hardship scheme, also announced after the floods, has yet to be established.

Meanwhile, flood-hit homeowners throughout the county say they can't be left in a position where crisis could strike again.
As flood waters recede, and as attention turns elsewhere, residents in areas hit by flooding recently are continuing their campaign for protective measures.
Geraldine Quinlivan of Springfield, Clonlara spent weeks outside of her home due to the recent flooding there.
Today, she's begun assessing the financial impact of the flood damage, while gradually clearing silt, muck and other debris from the property.
Geraldine says that from November to March each year, 60 families in the area are living on a knife-edge and she believes the cost to their mental health can never be measured.
The effects of the flooding are also being felt in North Clare.
In Bellharbour, the school bus travelled down one previously-flooded road today for the first time since near the beginning of December.
Temporary works have been carried out at Gortaclare, but local resident Alice Shannon now wants permanent measures put in place to prevent a repeat.
