Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Humanitarian Assistance for Household Flooding: Discussion
1:00 pm
Ms Helen Faughnan:
With regard to the farm home, we would absolutely meet the needs of the family home - where it is on a farm - in the context of white goods, flooring, furniture, etc. and those people should come and talk to us to see how we can assist them. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine also has the fodder scheme in operation. If a farmer was heating the home by means of a supply of turf that was damaged by flooding, we will provide replacement fuel to heat the family home.
