New Tipperary County Council phone line established following recent storms

Tipperary County Council has established a dedicated contact number 0818 06 5001 to provide assistance to vulnerable people in isolated communities and households where they are experiencing power outages due to the recent Storm Éowyn.

Staff will also seek to assist those with medical/health needs and those lacking social isolation supports. Where the Council is contacted through this new phone number, they will ascertain what organisation needs to be contacted to respond to the issue i.e. the HSE, An Garda Siochana, Department of Social Protection, Housing Section etc. and then to pass on details.

They do know that these organisations are reaching out to these people, but have said they want to ensure that the most vulnerable are not missed.

In the first instance they have encouraged families, neighbours, local clubs, and businesses to seek to assist those who are vulnerable in our community.

Tipperary County Council wishes to express their sincere thanks to all those who provided assistance in recent days to those who are vulnerable in our community.
