As in all previous cases when a humanitarian aid scheme was approved by Government, the scheme for Pullathomas, County Mayo, was administered by the Irish Red Cross Society on behalf of the Office of Public Works.

The assessment of applications for aid and decisions on the amount of aid in each case are confidential to the Red Cross and the individual applicants. The Red Cross has considerable experience in this area and I am satisfied that the scheme has been administered fairly and equitably.
