On Storm Éowyn and the humanitarian fund, when the storm hit last year, a number of soccer and GAA clubs were affected. High netting came down and other damage was done. These clubs could not claim under the scheme. We are now going to be looking at one or two big storms every year. The humanitarian fund should be extended to allow community groups and sporting organisations to make applications. What is the word I am looking for? After covering a given amount, you can make a claim. I think it is the first €15,000 you cannot claim.
