Mary White (Fianna Fail)

I am pleased to see the Minister here this evening. I know she is a woman of action and that she will do a superb job in her Ministry. I received a plea last week from Galway county councillor, Malachy Noone, on behalf of two of his constituents, Martin and Bernie Canniffe of Claregalway. During the winter of 2009 their house was flooded and they had to leave their home. They are still out of their home. I could not bear to think of it if this happened to me during the flooding of two years ago and I was still in rented accommodation. Our Minister, Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív, gave €4 million for this fund last autumn. I want to know why the case of Martin and Bernie Canniffe of Claregalway has not been resolved.
