Government estimates storm damage at €65m

Thursday 16 January 2014 15.32

The Government has estimated it will cost €65m to repair roads, piers and harbours damaged in recent storms.

The initial estimate was outlined by Environment Minister Phil Hogan in the Dáil this afternoon. 

Minister Hogan said the worst affected counties were Clare and Galway.

The recovery bill for these areas will run to €41m.

The Government is looking at all sources of funding, including the EU solidarity fund, he said.

However the minister warned that most applications for this money are refused.

In 2009 Ireland received €13m from the fund, but that money was granted after weather damage totaling €520m.

The Department of Social Protection is also providing payments to people whose homes were hit by the storms, the minister said.
