Govt pledges €250,000 to Grenada recovery
The Government today pledged a further €250,000 assistance to the Caribbean island of Grenada in the wake of devastating hurricanes which wreaked havoc in the region.
Substantial damage was caused to the island in September and October, particularly by Hurricane Ivan which destroyed around 80% of all buildings. Over half the population of 90,000 was made homeless and 39 people were killed.
