Video: RCB Flood Relief Grant Makes a Difference in Aughrim
When Storm Chandra struck in late January, it caused widespread damage to homes and communities.
Aughrim in County Wicklow was badly affected. Local rivers burst their banks and floodwater flowed into streets and did thousands of euros worth of damage to properties, electrical appliances and furniture.
Naturally, people were distraught at this natural disaster.
The call went out for help and the Church of Ireland Representative Church Body awarded €2,800 to provide some relief to victims.
In this video, Canon Suzanne Harris from Aughrim talks about what unfolded, but first, David Ritchie, RCB Chief Officer, gives Ray Hayden some background to the Flood Relief Grant.
