I also welcome the fact that motor insurance premiums are continuing to fall. I think they have fallen about 40% or 50% from peak now. I would like to see the same happening when it comes to business insurance. Employer's liability and public liability have not come down and that is disappointing. The fact that there are so many uninsured drivers on the road is a cost for everyone, because the cost gets loaded on to the motorists who do pay their insurance and that is not fair. I am not sure if there are additional actions that can be taken but I will certainly take it up with the Minister of State, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, who is responsible for this area, and with the Tánaiste, who chairs the committee on insurance reform.
