Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I am very sorry to hear that properties in Ballinspittle were flooded as a result of the heavy rainfall. As the Deputy knows, the Government set up and activated two schemes in the past when there were similar flood events, namely, the Irish Red Cross scheme and the humanitarian scheme through the Department of Social Protection. I will liaise with my Government colleagues and ask that the Deputy be responded to directly, setting out the supports available for people who have experienced flooding following a weather event.
