Naoise Ó Muirí (FG), Dublin Bay North

We had very severe flooding in the basements of apartments in Clongriffin during Storm Chandra some weeks ago. There is a bit of a question over whether the emergency response payment scheme actually works for apartment dwellers. In following up with the Department, we got a response saying that the Department does not track addresses against claims under the ERP. It is very difficult to understand how we could determine whether a scheme is working or not, particularly when handing out State support, when we are not recording an address against it. I find it very difficult to believe. I ask the Tánaiste to raise this with the departmental officials ahead of future events so that we have that information and can determine whether the schemes work for apartment dwellers.
