"Mr President, I extend our deepest sympathy to all of those who were affected by the storms. Sometimes within the Community we do not actually have an awareness of what is happening in other countries. We had very little coverage in Ireland of the tanker that sank. I was asked to highlight the result of the storms in Ireland. We had high winds and unprecedented, prolonged rainfall which, adding to existing difficulties, resulted in thousands of acres being submerged, sometimes, in up to 15 feet of water. We experienced the human misery of flooded homes and farms, no sanitation, no drinking water and the environmental disasters of E.coli-infected water. I talked with farmers whose ewes were aborting their lambs due to drinking the infected water. Natural habitats were destroyed. So I ask that Ireland be remembered in this particular case. I thank the Commissioner and support him very much in his European protection force."@en1
