Harris pledges financial support to homes and businesses affected by flooding




The Taoiseach has stated that houses and businesses affected by floods will get financial relief, reports Breaking News.

In Bantry, County Cork, about twenty buildings were inundated on Saturday due to status orange rains.

According to Cork County Council, there were spots where up to 65mm of rain fell, reports Breaking News.

“Difficult day and night in the South West, particularly in Bantry,” was how Simon Harris put it.

He announced that Kieran O’Donnell, the minister in charge of disaster assistance, will be stopping there on Sunday.

Speaking to media in Dublin on Sunday, Mr Harris said: “I have been in contact with both the Minister for Enterprise and the Minister for Social Protection, and on Tuesday they will bring memos to Cabinet to put in place the financial supports to assist any businesses or any households that were impacted with the heavy rain and with the floods last night,” reports Breaking News.
