It is almost four months to the day since Storm Babet hit Ireland and caused particular devastation in my part of the country, as the Minister well knows. I thank him and his colleagues for visiting and for the support given morally and financially since then. The scheme established by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment for businesses, operated through the Red Cross, has been very successful. I wish to give the Minister an opportunity to tell us how much has been expended on that scheme, how many applications were received and how many have been paid out.
