I have two other questions. I am undertaking a series of public meetings in respect of insurance reform. One of the issues that arose at two of the meetings was that insurance companies are price discriminating on the basis of a full driving licence that is not an Irish driving licence. For example, people are entitled to drive with French driving licences but the companies increase the premiums. I intend to raise this with the European Commission. Is that acceptable? Does Mr. Cullinan know about this? When they increase the premium, what they tell the customer is that they price it in on the basis it is a provisional licence, which is ridiculous.
