The Irish government is thinking of a new insurance scheme for people most at risk from flooding which could be established by the Government, Tanaiste Mary Coughlan said yesterday.
Ms Coughlan said that she was willing to examine a national insurance scheme for those who lived in flood-prone areas .
The scheme would be backed by the Government and designed for those whose homes are so at-risk of being flooded that insurance companies are unwilling to sign them up.
The €10m flood aid package will not go to people who have their property insured
