Having visited Donegal immediately after the severe flooding incident at the end of August, I am aware of the challenges faced by a number of sports clubs in the area and have previously stated that I am eager to assist in any way I can. In this regard, my Department made contact with relevant sports clubs impacted by the flooding but whose damage was deemed to be outside the terms of the previously announced Irish Red Cross Scheme. Responses setting out the needs of the clubs in question have been received and Minister Ross and I have decided to provide funding for these clubs. My officials will be in touch with the clubs in the coming days to finalise the exact amount required.
