Floods: Cabinet to approve multi-million fund to aid clean-up

The Cabinet is to approve a clean-up fund worth tens of millions of euro for devastated communities across the country.

Environment Minister Alan Kelly will bring a memo to Cabinet this morning outlining the scale of damage as a result of Storm Desmond.

With many communities still under water, some local authorities are unable to provide estimates of the costs of repairing roads, bridges, and other infrastructure; however the damage is expected to be in the tens of millions.
