Following the question on insurance costs, in the session which preceded this one we heard that some insurance companies are refunding money to crèches which have not been open for the past three months but that others are not. For a crèche which is not open, there is absolutely no insurable interest whatsoever. Given that all of these moneys come from parents and the Exchequer, is this something the Department will take up with insurance companies? I am aware that the Minister for Finance met insurance companies to discuss issues relating to car insurance some time ago.
