Flood Relief Schemes
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-06
============================================================

Kevin Boxer Moran (IND), Longford-Westmeath

I fully understand. Nobody knows more about flooding than I do. I have seen it not just in Athlone but all over the country. I have been engaged with my officials. In regard to a humanitarian fund, I will see where that is at and try to get it to those people. I can assure the Senator that my officials are working closely with me and the council. I have been invited to that particular area again. I am a person who, when I go to an area, I want to have something to say. I do not want to go and be long-winded. I want to make sure the people who woke up that morning have the fire brigades and the necessary people around them. I want to ease the worry and fear they have. I want to assure them that, as Minister of State, I will be behind them and help them as best I can. However, as I said, I will work with the local authority. Changes are coming and I hope in the not-too-distant future we will have something good to say.
