Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 June 2010
389 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for Social Protection the level of funding that his Department has paid to flood relief victims on a local authority basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23385/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe HSE's Community Welfare Service has been providing support to households under the humanitarian assistance scheme since last November's flooding. Up to 7th May 2010 they had made 2,976 payments to 1,276 individuals to the value of €1,270,547 throughout the country.
The amount spent on a local authority basis is not available. However, I have set out a tabular statement of expenditure on a county by county basis.
