Legislative Measures
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-24
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Small business and community groups across the State continue to suffer from unaffordable insurance. The Action Plan for Insurance Reform committed that proposals to rebalance the duty of care would be brought to the Oireachtas by amending the Occupiers' Liability Act and the Civil Liability Act and that these measures would be brought before the Government by June 2021. That deadline was missed by quite a bit. On 17 May 2022, nearly a year later, the Minister proposed legislative change and published the scheme of these proposals. Will the Minister outline the proposals and the timeline for their implementation?
