lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, during the summer break in Northern Ireland, the region I come from, we suffered very heavy falls of rain during the month of August. While many areas suffered, there were flash floods washing away topsoil, destroying many hectares of potatoes and flattening grain. I visited some of the areas that were worst affected, and what I witnessed was a pitiful sight for those who had worked so hard to try and produce food at this time, with road and bridges washed away as well as some livestock being lost. Now farmers are well used to battling the weather to survive, but on this occasion these small areas could and should be helped. In Europe we have the Solidarity Fund that should be made available to the Northern Ireland Executive by the Commission, and I would ask you to write to the head of the Commission, to contact the Office of the First Minister in Northern Ireland to see how best it can help."@en1
