Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Scrutiny of the Flood Insurance Bill 2016
9:30 am
Mr. Jer Buckley:
We are not experts in drafting legislation. All Bills can be improved, but the thrust of this one and the aims it sets out are honest and true. I have no objection to anyone looking at the Bill and saying that we might need to tweak it here or there but I read through it with Deputy Michael McGrath and I do not see a problem with it. There might be a case for looking at the verification element of the Bill. As it works its way through the Houses, the Bill will become a very fine piece of legislation. I am very hopeful that it will pass.
