I wish the Chairman well in his role. I welcome the Minister of State and wish him well. I will be brief as I have to attend a meeting of the Committee on Arrangements for Budgetary Scrutiny 10 o'clock. I concur with everything the Chairman said on this exercise. This is one of the areas we are looking at and will be bringing forward recommendations so this is more than just a box ticking exercise. I will go into the substance of some of my comments.

Let us just deal with the insurance industry. A number of Deputies have raised the issue already. Since the Minister of State, Deputy Canney, was appointed, how many meetings has he had with members of the insurance industry?
