Mr. Paul Smyth:

First, ICOS has said it is unable to get insurance for its marts, so it is too expensive for ICOS. There could be a State-funded export insurance scheme. A report by KPMG in 2011, which I do not believe was published, stated it would cost €1.7 million, although I am open to correction on that. As an export nation, €1.7 million is not too high a figure if it would ensure exports into the future.
