Government ministers have signed off on funding humanitarian support and the cost of rebuilding the buildings destroyed in the Creeslough filling station explosion.
Social Protection Minister, Heather Humphreys, spoke to reporters at a press conference on the Budget’s €1.4billion cost of living supports package, where she also revealed the State will pay for the Creeslough clean-up.
The funding will come partly through her department from an existing €10million humanitarian fund which was set up to provide help for victims of natural disasters like flooding and storm damage.
