Monaghan County Council is reminding people who's homes were damaged by flooding that the Emergency Response Payment is now available.
This provides short time immediate financial support to people whose homes are damaged by flooding or other severe weather events and who are not able to meet costs for essential needs, household items and, in some instances, structural repair.
It is administered by the Community Welfare Service.
The Council is reminding people that the payment supports the cost of essential needs and repairs rather than full compensation for losses or damage. The payment does not cover damage or losses that are insured under home insurance policies or would be reasonably expected to be insured.
The payment may cover; emergency support payments, such as food, clothing and bedding where loss is experienced through flooding or structural damage to your home due to a severe weather event, damage to your home and its essential contents, such as carpets, flooring, furniture, household appliances and bedding, and structural damage.
