The Red Cross will start accepting applications for emergency funding from businesses affected by Storm Desmond from this evening.
That's according to Minister for Defence Simon Coveney who revealed details of emergency payments to uninsured businesses affected by flooding yesterday.
Small businesses very badly hit by the storm will be able to apply for up to €20,000 in Government funding.
Uninsured businesses can expect up to €5000 in the next ten days, with further money available after Christmas.
