The memorandum of understanding can and will be made available through the Chairman to all members. The memorandum of understanding is basically an understanding between the Office of Public Works and Insurance Ireland on the protocols by which information is given to Insurance Ireland when flood relief schemes are completed. It also provides information on when demountables are put in place and have been certified as being correct, how the two bodies will work together to share the information they have on the numbers being insured and where the issues are arising whereby people cannot be insured. There is no agreement within this memorandum of understanding that while works are to be carried out, they will continue to insure. There is no such provision. However, I think that has more to do with the Department of Finance and its role as the legal regulatory body for insurers. That is why I want to get the memorandum of understanding strengthened to try to get the Department of Finance involved.

We provide information on projects that are certified as completed-----
