What do I tell a business on Bridge Street in Mallow or a business in Fermoy? The response of the Minister of State suggests Insurance Ireland is looking for bells and whistles, but it should take at face value the word of the OPW if it states the demountable defences work because, being the robust organisation that it is, it will not state this unless they absolutely work. We have all seen that they work. If Insurance Ireland is looking for conditions to be met before it will insure, I suggest the Minister of State not be led on a merry dance by it. It is about having teeth in the game.
