Mr. Tom McHugh:

There was a particular occasion, post-Storm Emma, but my understanding is that once the local farmers or community operated within the guidelines that were issued at national and local level, an insurance cover was provided by the local authorities. I do not know if that is possible in respect of Tidy Towns groups. I am speaking from a different perspective entirely because although we have very active Tidy Towns associations and groupings within my own local authority, they do not do the types of works to which the Deputy was referring earlier. I cannot comment on that.
