I thank the Minister of State. It has been acknowledged by other members that his own personal efforts have been put into this and he clearly is on top of his brief. It is cold comfort to those of us who did get increases. I acknowledge myself that the rate of increase, certainly in my experience, is better, but my initial claim came in €300 or €400 higher than the €500 it had been. I managed to get it back to €60 or €70 higher than it was. It was better than it had been but the price is still going up. The rate of increase has reduced.

I want to go through some of the actions taken and where they are going. Some of the actions taken to establish a fully functioning database to identify uninsured drivers, even though the target dates are quite far away in quarter four 2018, look like they are going to be delayed. I am referring to section 28 of the fifth objective on reducing insurance fraud.
