Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There is an enormous sense of urgency in terms of Limerick because many people are out of their homes. Up to 300 homes are affected. The questions are simple. On an immediate issue, first, when does the Minister anticipate the Government will be in a position to do an overall assessment of the level of humanitarian aid that is needed in Limerick? Second, insurance is an enormously urgent issue in Limerick because as many of the people were living on a flood plain they do not have insurance, and we are talking about their homes. I ask the Minister to give us the timeframe in terms of when he will be in a position to provide conclusions and certainty to the people living in these areas in Limerick in respect of their homes.
