Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I wish to revisit the disaster that is public liability insurance. We are hearing that the likes of Beyoncé and Coldplay will skip Ireland because of this insurance disaster. We know the damage that is being done, the danger for anyone involved in adventure tourism businesses and the issue for community centres and community organisations. We all know we need to see that duty of care legislation. Can I get a timeline for when that legislation will be through the Seanad and enacted? We know IDA Ireland needs to attract more players in but how do we make sure the savings for insurers are passed on to consumers and businesses? We know the personal injury guidelines and the impact of the reduced number of claims on them but we need it to happen for businesses and consumers.
