I support the Senator's endorsements. The witnesses have put their cases very well. There was a slight difference of opinion. The perspective of IBEC is that legal costs are rising versus Mr. Fielding's comment that the costs have not changed that much. We have heard the same stuff for the past two days, so we have been here before. That is the slightly depressing or disappointing aspect from the point of view of members. We are wondering why must we keep revisiting these issues. Motor insurance is something that happens all over the world and Ireland is not that different from many other countries. Our roads network, population and people are not that different from those in many other countries. Why do problems with motor insurance keep arising here? It is unfortunate that these problems continue. I thank all of the witnesses for their contributions.

I call on Deputy O'Rourke for his questions and comments.
