Mr. Tony Murphy:

There are EU funds for earthquakes and things like that - solidarity funds. I do not know whether things like this would feature under that. We can have a look into it for sure. First of all, I sympathise with all the people who are affected by this. Obviously we follow it here as well on Irish news etc. In fact, Mr. Brian Murphy's mother-in-law is one of these affected people, so we have practical experience of it here. It is not as if we are living in an ivory tower and not aware of what is going on. We will look into it. I am unsure if there is specific EU funding or whether this is, under subsidiarity, delegated to the member states, but we will have a look at it and if we can find anything, we will definitely get back to the secretariat.
