The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) Flooding Relief Scheme is an emergency humanitarian contribution for businesses, (up to 20 employees), community, voluntary and sporting bodies, who are unable to secure flooding insurance though no fault of their own, to assist them in returning their premises to their pre-flood condition.
In relation to non-flooding damage to property which has been caused by storms , property owners should in the first instance get in touch with their insurance companies as businesses that suffer damage or loss of property from severe weather events should ordinarily have insurance against that risk.
The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) Flooding Relief Scheme is intended as an emergency humanitarian assistance contribution only and not as compensation for loss or a replacement for the cover provided by insurance.
