Irish Red Cross Support Line

The Irish Red Cross has launched a dedicated phone helpline (01 642 4648), manned by Irish Red Cross staff and volunteers to support people distressed by flood damage to their home, property or business.

This helpline is for people who would like to speak to someone who can provide them with a supportive ‘listening ear’ and make them aware of other Government or local authority support services.

It is not an emergency services phone line. Anyone in need of on-the-ground help from emergency services should call 112 or 999.

Over the weekend, members of the public can also call Wicklow County Council’s out of hours number on 01 291 6117 for assistance.
