Of course, we all make comments in the context of insurance difficulties everywhere, including in regard to crèches. On my desk is a reference to the Galway community services which are part of the much lauded Galway 2020. They had a scheme of events and they cannot do it because their insurance literally jumped in one year from €10,000 to €24,000. That happened without explanation and not based on any claims, alleged fraud or anything like that - it was a complete jump. In addition to legal costs, there appear to be many problems in the narrative that is being given as to why premiums are high.

The Legal Services Regulatory Authority has been taking complaints in regard to solicitors and barristers since October.
