Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

This is an issue the Deputy has raised with me and Senator McGreehan has been raising it with me in great detail and providing me with documentation and evidence on the damage we have seen. We have put in place humanitarian assistance for businesses and homeowners, which was important. The Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael McGrath, visited the area, accompanied by Senator McGreehan, to visit businesses and homes. I thank the Deputy for raising this and it is something I am considering. I am taking on board the submissions there are, assessing the extent of it and I will respond to the Deputy and continue to work with Senator McGreehan on the challenges and real difficulties people have faced in north Louth.
