The 2017 Flood Damage Relief Measure was implemented in response to the localised severe flooding experienced in the Inishowen area on August 22nd 2017. An application was received under this scheme from the person named on 25 September 2017. During processing of the application it emerged that this application did not satisfy all the criteria of the scheme as the holding was outside the eligible areas for support. A letter notifying the applicant of this and his right to appeal issued on 19 January. The applicant lodged an appeal on 5 March, and the review of this file has been completed. A letter has issued on 16 March notifying the applicant that the Department's original decision remains unchanged. If the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of this review, he may wish to contact the office of the Ombudsman.
