Martin Ferris (Kerry North-West Limerick, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have not seen what happened today but I am told what happened before is minimal compared to it. I do not know whether people's insurance will cover them. People in places in Limerick will not be covered. We need to be there for people politically and all parties in this Chamber must work together to try to get the best possible result for them. Where necessary, we must declare a national emergency and try to get to extra funding from people to whom we have contributed in the past when they had difficulties.
