Group to meet O Cuív over flood funds

OIREACHTAS members are to meet Social Protection Minister Éamon O Cuív later today in an attempt to force him to hand over vital funds to victims of Cork’s November floods.

Fine Gael’s Deirdre Clune demanded the Government must make attempts to fast-track funds for victims who are facing mounting debt.

“This meeting is about bringing widespread concerns to the minister about what is taking place on the ground,” Ms Clune explained.
