MEP calls for emergency flood relief application
23/11/2009 - 19:54:34An MEP has called on the Government to apply for emergency flood relief from the European Union.
Following devastating floods across central Europe in 2002, the EU established a solidarity fund to assist member states that suffer as a result of natural disasters such as flooding.
Flooding across the country is estimated to have cost €500m so far.
MEP for Ireland South Alan Kelly said that while the application process was difficult, it was vital that a request for funding was made soon.
