Insurance Industry

============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I would appreciate it if the Minister could provide an update on the work of the Office to Promote Competition in the Insurance Market. I am talking specifically about the difficulties that exist as regards public liability insurance. There are a large number of community organisations - community centres - that either cannot get insurance or are offered ridiculous premiums. We know what has happened as regards personal injury guidelines. There is more to be done from a legislative point of view on duty of care, etc. We need a timeline on that. I accept that is a matter for the Minister for Justice but we need to see movement. The problem is we do not have enough companies in this space. What is being done?
