I wonder how far that helps when people face four ft. of water and cannot live in their houses. Is there anything the committee can do to shake up the means testing or make it more generous? I do not suggest those administering the scheme are not being generous or are not trying their best, but is there any way we can help? They have said they have a fund of €10 million or that it is uncapped, but it is not uncapped if it is means tested or if there is paperwork and assessments to be carried out. I do not suggest the spend should not be assessed, but is there anything we can do to help, because what is the amount if we divide €58,000 by 93?
