Denis Naughten
Ceist:103 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Finance the reason his Department approved funding, through the Red Cross, to compensate householders who had their homes flooded in Limerick City due to the flooding of the River Shannon but is not prepared to compensate a similar householder (details supplied) in County Roscommon; the criteria used to assess both cases; the difference, if any, in any such assessments; if these assessments were carried out by the same section within his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
