Relocation of families affected by flooding not a priority, says Simon Coveney

The possible relocation of flooded families is not a priority for government, the Minister for Agriculture has said.

Speaking during a visit in Clonlara, South East Clare, where families have been evacuated following the winter storms, Minister Simon Coveney said it was “far too early” to start relocations.

“I don’t think that we are looking at that option at the moment,” he said.
