Flooding Fallout: Alan Kelly considering levy on insurers after floods

Environment Minister Alan Kelly is considering placing a levy on insurers after they refused to budge on the issue of flood insurance.

Mr Kelly has hit out at insurers for refusing to cover many homes and businesses in areas where movable defences have already been put in place.

Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe is expected to today announce €100m in funding to repair roads, bridges, and culverts which were damaged in flooding.
