A NEW insurance scheme for people most at risk from flooding could be established by the Government, Tanaiste Mary Coughlan said yesterday.
Ms Coughlan said that she was willing to examine a national insurance scheme for those who lived in flood-prone areas .
The scheme would be backed by the Government and designed for those whose homes are so at-risk of being flooded that insurance companies are unwilling to sign them up.
The €10m flood aid package will not go to people who have their property insured
