Ms Murphy's point is very well made and we had not heard it until today, which is good. We heard from ISME, IBEC and the Small Firms Association last week, as well as the AA, the young drivers and Age Action, but nobody was talking about that. We saw how deregulation in the airline industry worked. It was very much driven by Europe back in the 1990s. It has not happened here at all and Ms Murphy is saying she is precluded from getting insurance for Irish-registered vehicles outside Ireland.
