What they meant was you should go and see your local C.W.O (community welfare officer).

Hi I know of two people who were given council flats and they both got €2400 each. They were not together they were seperate flats. Hope that helps. That was in Boyle , Co Roscommon.

This use to be handled by the community welfare officer as above. Once you do that you can then contact the Saint vincent de paul. They wont give you stuff for free but will give it at a good price second hand.

This is likely to be reference to an Exceptional or Urgent Needs Payment. These are discretionary payments and therefore will be for different amounts depending on the circumstances of the individual and the attitude of the local Community Welfare Officer.
