Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

All of us looked with horror at the storms, not least yesterday. Over 200,000 homes are still without electricity. As we know the cost of the damage will run into tens of millions of euro. I wish to ask the Tánaiste about the national co-ordination group. I understand it is meeting this morning to assess the damage. When will the committee report to Government? When will the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government come to the Dáil with a comprehensive report on the damages and the finances that will be required to begin the process of putting things to right?
