On demountable flood defences, the Deputy can rest assured the full weight of the Department is being used to deal with Insurance Ireland. At the first meeting I had with it the issue of demountable flood defences arose because what is being put in place is of the highest standard in Europe and the defences have been proved to work. We have given all of the protocols required for their installation, maintenance, storage and reinstallation, an issue raised by Insurance Ireland. The reason I want to meet it on a regular basis is to ensure there is progress. I have also asked the departmental group to review the memorandum of understanding in order that we will have the weight the Department of Finance behind us. It is the Department charged with establishing the insurance legal framework. The committee can rest assured we are doing this.
