Over 17,000 compensation claims lodged in Mayo after Storm Éowyn
The county was second only to Galway, which recorded 30,592 claims.
Other counties along the western seaboard, such as Donegal (1,696), Sligo (3,510), Roscommon (8,702) and Clare (3,826), accounted for a large amount of claims.
Waterford had the lowest number of applications to the scheme of 26 counties with just 12 applications.
The scheme opened following Storm Éowyn, which wreaked unprecedented damage when it struck the country on January 24.
In total, 52,630 payments totalling €12,876,451 has been paid to support 50,967 households.
The three-stage scheme covers the additional cost of feeding families in the immediate aftermath of the storm where people remained without power and/or water.

Mayo Minister announces funding for Belleek Woods upgrade as part of national investment into Coillte sites
The funding is part of a €4 million nationwide investment by the department into Coillte managed recreational sites across Ireland. In addition, a further €1.4 million has been allocated this year to support the repair of up to 200 Coillte sites that were damaged during storms in 2025. Storm Éowyn caused widespread destruction in January, forcing over 100 sites to close. Of these, 83 have since reopened and Minister Calleary said he expects the remaining sites to reopen before the end of this year. 'In recognition of the significant level of resources needed to repair the storm damage, I am delighted to be able to provide, on a once off basis, additional funding of €1.4m towards repair works on up to 200 sites that suffered storm damage in 2025,' he said. €2m of the total investment will help support ongoing maintenance on 169 recreational sites around the country, and €600,000 is earmarked for the development of new projects. Belleek Woods is one of 17 development projects scheduled for 2025 and the only one in Connacht. Announcing the funding, Minister Calleary highlighted the importance of his department's strategic partnership with Coillte for supporting outdoor recreation in Ireland. 'It is essential to ensuring that Coillte sites are in a position to facilitate millions of visitors each year with high quality trails and facilities,' said the Minister, 'Through our current partnership with Coillte, we are providing up to €15 million over 5 years to maintain and develop Coillte's trail network and recreation amenities around the country. This funding is also supporting Coillte's engagement with local communities and recreation groups right across the country.' Imelda Hurley, the CEO of Coillte welcomed the investment thanking Minister Calleary and the department She said: 'This support comes at a critical time, following the unprecedented Storm Éowyn, that caused widespread damage across our forest estate. Our teams have been working tirelessly to restore access, often in extremely challenging conditions. Their phenomenal efforts have ensured that the majority of our recreational forests have now reopened, enabling communities and visitors to once again enjoy the natural beauty of our forests.' The 2024 Coillte Report, released today, recorded over 82,000 visitors to Belleek Woods last year. The site also received €150,000 in funding last year for its Pond Rejuvenation Project. Additional support from the DRCDG covered general maintenance, including tending to dangerous trees and leaf blowing. Coillte is the largest provider of outdoor recreation in Ireland managing over 300 recreational sites and thousands of individual forest properties nationwide. In Mayo, its other managed sites include Drummin Woods in Foxford, Breaffy and Raheens Woods in Castlebar, and Brackloon Woods in Westport.

Louth Braces for Storm Floris over bank holiday weekend
A Status Yellow storm advisory has been issued by Met Éireann, warning of unseasonably strong winds and heavy rainfall from Sunday night into Bank Holiday Monday. The weather system, currently moving in from the Atlantic, is forecast to bring gusts of up to 110km/h in some coastal and exposed areas, with Louth among the counties likely to experience significant impacts. While the heaviest conditions are expected to affect parts of Ulster and the northwest, forecasters say Louth could still see widespread rain, difficult driving conditions, and potential localised flooding. Motorists are being advised to avoid unnecessary travel on Monday morning, particularly on routes prone to debris or surface water. Saturday is expected to remain mostly dry in the northeast, with warm temperatures and sunny spells. Sunday will see increasing cloud cover and patchy rain spreading from the west. The main front associated with Storm Floris is expected to arrive late Sunday evening, bringing widespread rainfall and strengthening winds overnight. Louth County Council has urged residents to secure outdoor items such as bins, garden furniture, trampolines and signage, and to report any fallen trees or flooding via their emergency services lines. Outdoor events planned for the weekend, including community fun days and camping trips, may be disrupted or cancelled due to safety concerns. The timing of the storm comes as thousands prepare to travel across the country for the long weekend. Families heading away, especially those planning to camp or visit coastal areas, are being advised to keep a close eye on weather updates and to reconsider travel plans if conditions deteriorate. Businesses in Drogheda, Dundalk and surrounding towns have also expressed concern, with some saying they plan to close early on Monday or move planned events indoors. Storm Floris also follows several bouts of unsettled summer weather, including the recent remnants of Storm Éowyn, which led to the temporary closure of over 100 forest and trail sites nationwide. Many of those sites only recently reopened, and authorities are monitoring them closely for any additional damage or safety issues. The Department of Rural and Community Development and Coillte have already provided funding for trail repairs after the previous storm, but it remains unclear whether further damage from Floris will require additional supports. Met Éireann is expected to issue more detailed weather warnings by Saturday as the path of the storm becomes clearer. In the meantime, locals are advised to take basic precautions and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of high winds and heavy rainfall. As the Bank Holiday weekend approaches, Louth residents are being reminded that, while summer storms are not unusual, preparedness and caution can go a long way in preventing accidents and ensuring safety.

Storm Floris predicted to be exceptionally strong
A big storm, named Floris by the UK Met Office, is heading our way over the coming days. It is likely to bring unseasonably strong winds and heavy rain and cause considerable disruption, especially to the north west of the country and to Northern Ireland. The storm, which is predicted to be exceptionally strong, especially for this time of year, will arrive tomorrow night and be at its height by Monday morning. Met Éireann is warning that more people than usual are likely to be exposed and impacted due to a large number of outdoor events taking place, as well as people camping, holidaying and engaging in outdoor pursuits at this time of the year. There are fears too, that a storm of this magnitude could do huge damage to trees that are full of leaves at the height of the summer. And of course, damage to trees in Ireland inevitably means damage to electricity poles, power outages, and local disruption to the electricity supply network. Met Éireann is warning of dangerous driving conditions, fallen trees, debris and loose objects Met Éireann is highlighting other potential hazards too. It is warning of dangerous driving conditions, fallen trees, debris and loose objects, structural damage, wave overtopping, and localised flooding that will be made worse by leaves and debris. People will be at greater risk of exposure, says forecaster Forecaster Andrew Doran-Sherlock says as this is a Public Holiday Weekend more people will be at a greater risk of exposure than would normally be the case. He said: "While we are in a period of neap tides, with lowest tidal ranges of this cycle expected on Sunday and Monday, strong onshore winds and high waves may cause wave overtopping in low-lying coastal areas in the northwest and west." "Our advice would be to pay attention to the weather forecasts and warnings issued over the weekend and take them into consideration with any plans you have," he added. "And as always, please heed the advice of local authorities." Forecaster Andrew Doran-Sherlock urged people to heed the advice of local authorities There is still some uncertainty in the details so the full impact of the storm system cannot be determined. Nevertheless, on Friday, forecasters at the British Met Office were not ruling out the possibility that storm Floris could bring with it an unusual phenomenon that weather professionals refer to as "explosive cyclogenesis". In common (or tabloid) parlance that means Storm Floris could turn out to be a so-called "weather-bomb". This occurs when a storm brings a rapid drop in air pressure of 24 millibars, or more, in 24 hours. It is a rare phenomenon in an Irish context. But when it does happen wind speeds tend to become extremely intense. That is exactly what occurred during the devastating Storm Éowyn last January, the costliest storm in terms of damages to ever hit the country. Floris could qualify as a 'weather bomb' Meteorologists at the UK Met Office said yesterday that although it is difficult to be sure, it looks like air pressure will be about 1,005 hectopascals (or millibars) 24 hours before the storm, but will fall as low as 980 hectopascals and maybe even lower when it arrives. If that does happen then Floris would qualify as a "weather bomb" and the winds at the centre of the storm would be extremely strong. Of course, that does not mean this storm will be as damaging as Éowyn because the timing, the trajectory and the position of the coming storm when it is at its maximum will be different. Éowyn was a direct hit on the coast of Ireland while Floris is currently expected to track to the north west of the country, so its impact is unlikely to be as fierce.

The meteorologists at the UK Met Office are saying this cannot be ruled out so it is well worth watching out for. One can expect to hear a lot of discussion about the fingerprints of climate change if that does turn out to be the case. As things stand right now the UK Met Office is predicting potentially record gusts for this time of the year, of up to 100 kilometres per hour or more in the Northwest of Ireland, and Northern Ireland, early on Monday. There is no question that will come as a shock to many holiday makers. It's a big nuisance for farmers and crop growers too. Five years ago this month, when Storm Francis hit, some of Ireland's apple growers lost as much as 30% of their crops due to wind damage. Rivers burst their banks, with people needing to be rescued from up to 300 homes in Newcastle Co Down. This month two years ago Storm Betty caused flooding, fallen trees, branches, and debris across the south of the country, with electricity outages affecting 70,000 homes, farms, and businesses. The stories were similar and the experiences equally challenging during, Antoni, Lillian, Ellen, and Evert - the four other August named storms during the eleven years since the convention of naming storms was adopted here. On that basis we can expect lots of reminders, and very good advice about taking care, avoiding hazards, and driving carefully over the coming days. The good news on the weather front is that the UK meteorologists are expecting that after the storm weather will settle down quickly and we should be back to calm and warm conditions by Wednesday with high pressure ruling the roost.
