L’Irlanda riceverà 13 generatori di energia di emergenza dall’UE dopo il ritardo nella corrispondenza

“A request for emergency aid from the EU was issued by the Irish government on Saturday to assist with restoration works after Storm Éowyn.

Officials from Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands indicated that they could deliver much-needed emergency generators to Ireland but asked for more details, such as the voltages and quantity needed in the government’s request.

The Journal reported today that the Irish government did not respond to the EU for two days, leaving the Danish, German and Dutch officials on standby for the time being”

Probably had power at home and couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Helpful, but doesn’t seem like a hell of a lot of capacity – I assume those are going to go to Irish water pumping stations primarily.

I don’t know why but the whole thing seems to lack any urgency from the Government. It was basically a hurricane level event in some areas and the power networks took a hell of a hammering, but so have a lot of people’s homes.

They need to be getting out to people to make sure they’ve food, heat, water etc and I’m not really seeing much coverage of any of that online at least – if it’s happening nobody’s really making things clear.

I’m getting very much a “ah sure it must be something down the country” vibes about it…
