Taoiseach confronted by woman over government response to counties hit worst by Storm Eowyn

Rachel Connolly from Cloonkeen confronted Taoiseach about her family's power issues, which have persisted for a year. Despite government plans to address storm damage, Connolly expressed frustration over the lack of support, stating this was the fourth power outage with no communication from authorities. She questioned the effectiveness of the government's planning and urged for more proactive measures during crises. Connolly also raised concerns about public health and hygiene as families struggle in a wealthy country.

With respect Taoiseach am I the only who these plans didn't work for; There is no facilities here; Why didn't you have more in place?

We are already having a breakdown in hygiene in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. That is not acceptable.
