CLARE TD Timmy Dooley yesterday met EU Commissioner for Regional Development, Johannes Hahn, to outline the case for emergency funding due to the damage caused to Clare and other counties as a result of the recent adverse weather conditions.
In addition to the €23m needed to repair public infrastructure in Clare, individuals in the county also need several million euro for damage to private property, both houses and land.
Deputy Dooley was part of a Fianna Fáil delegation that also included Ireland North West MEP Pat The Cope Gallagher and MEP for Ireland South Brian Crowley.
