Cork and Galway flood groups plan joint action

CORK and Galway’s flood victim groups are set to join forces over claims insurance firms are deliberately delaying pay-outs following the November crisis.

Representatives of the Cork Flood Action Committee and the Flood Alleviation Ballinasloe Community Project have confirmed they are considering pooling information in an attempt to ensure those affected receive the money they are owed.

The Irish Insurance Federation (IIF) has insisted firms are working as quickly as they can to conclude investigations into outstanding flood claims.
