I look forward to hearing hopefully good news in regard to those developments. We know they are necessary. There is a huge number of businesses under severe pressure at this point in time in regard to premiums. Local community groups with which I deal, such as the WATCH club in Dundalk that offers tandem bikes to take kids with disabilities and others on the tandem, are having difficulty. Those involved with Cycle Ireland are insured but those dealing with a kid who may show up to an event, are not covered. Hopefully we will get something like that worked through. There is no end to the issues that are being caused in this regard. It is really good news in relation to more players looking at this particular market. We need to keep the insurers' feet to the fire. However, are we getting the players that will make a significant impact in regard to public liability insurance? Are any of them making the necessary moves?
