Regarding the emergency scheme, that was not touched on by officials previously. Is there a particular budget allocated to the emergency scheme on an annual basis or do the local authorities have to go and look for additional moneys for that? I have a personal story. During Storm Éowyn, I tried to help a Traveller family with the humanitarian assistance scheme and it was quite difficult for the Department of social welfare.
