Okay, but it is important to raise it while the witnesses are present. I thank Ms Murphy.
I am alarmed about the three main insurers that Mr. Herron mentioned. Coming from a rural community, I identify with the rural transport initiative. If taxi drivers are unable to get insurance, it is a major problem. There is no point in introducing a rural transport initiative that allows for rural communities to increase or introduce taxi provision in areas where there has only been some or none previously only to find out that drivers cannot get insurance quotes.
