-----the VHI has confirmed that premia would have had to have increased by 17.5% instead of between 6% and 12%.

This is the last year of the levy. Unlike the Government of which Deputy Martin was a member which kept talking about bringing in risk equalisation, we have the legislation ready to go and it will be in place by 2013.

I will tell Deputy Kelleher what really bothers me most about his motion.
