They are ready to act fast.

How they process your application

The team at the Irish Red Cross are ready to act fast.

They have been reviewing applications as they are received.

They will verify all applications’ property details with the relevant County Councils.

They aim to make the first-stage payments of up to €5,000 to the bank account details you provide promptly, once the details are verified.

Applications for more financial support will require an in-person visit by an assessor.

They have a panel of assessors ready on the ground to support straightaway.

Once we have the assessor’s report, a decision will be made and communicated to you.

Payment will be made promptly.

Please contact the Irish Red Cross if any of your details change between the times you make your application and the receipt of payment under this scheme.

For any queries call the CSNA at 01-6424600 or email emergencyflooding@redcross.ie
