Deputies Brady and Buckley on the same matter. I ask Deputy Brady to be brief.

Storm Emma is memory now for most people, but it is still a reality for many people in Wicklow, particularly those in the west of the county. As we sit here, many people are still trapped in their homes. They are running low on supplies - or they have no supplies and certainly no water - and are running out of medicines. While the Taoiseach was busy getting his photograph taken to put out an image that he is a hands-on Taoiseach, the reality is that people are trapped in their homes. Only yesterday, the Defence Forces were deployed in west Wicklow. Where was the outside help? No emergency was declared in west Wicklow. People are still trapped in their homes today.

I thank the Deputy. The point is made.

There is no outside assistance. A lot of credit has to go to Wicklow County Council, which tried its best. The Civil Defence tried its best.

I ask the Deputy to give way to his colleague, Deputy Buckley.

Sorry, I tried to get in on this yesterday. It is very important. Many people are still trapped in their homes and there has been no emergency response whatsoever. There has been no outside help.

The Deputy time is up.

A mere 60 members of the Defence Forces-----

Deputy, please.

-----were deployed yesterday.

Deputy please.

Sorry, only yesterday-----

Deputy, please resume your seat.

The people of west Wicklow demand-----

We are well aware of the problem in west Wicklow. I ask the Deputy to resume his seat.

There is no emergency response from this Government. It is putting on a charade.

Resume your seat.

We need a response from the Government on this.

I will not be calling the Deputy again, I assure him of that, if this is how he is going to behave.
