Environmental groups’ rehabilitation costs

Summary

After procedural exchanges, Doyle asked whether the claim covered environmental groups’ coastline and seabird rehabilitation expenses. Daly said such groups were not included in the Government’s claim and would need to make private claims, for which assistance could be given.

In view of the fact that the Minister has pointed out he is satisfied that the amount of the claim will meet the cost of all the damages and of the expenses incurred, could he confirm that this would include the considerable expenses incurred by various environmental groups who carried out a great deal of rehabilitation work along the coastline, particularly with sea birds?

I indicated in reply to previous questions that private individuals will have to make private claims and that we would help in claims of that nature, but we do not have any such claims from environmental groups included in the figure we have claimed.
