Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2023
325. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Social Protection the capital, current and total 2023 budget allocation for the humanitarian support scheme, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5388/23]
View answerHumanitarian Aid is a scheme under the Supplementary Welfare Allowance schemes.
It is a demand-led scheme, payable to persons to prevent hardship by providing income tested financial support to people affected by flooding and other severe weather events and who are not in a position to meet costs for essential needs, household items and, in some instances, structural repair.

There is no capital element to the estimate or expenditure.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
