Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Public Transport (Resumed)

Mr. Kenneth Spratt:

I thank the Deputy. Before I came into this role I had responsibility for tourism and sport, and insurance was a big issue in both sectors. It was one which led our previous Ministers to seek meetings with the insurance industry and to engage directly with them with a view to ensuring that the industry fully understood all of the challenges that were presenting to hoteliers and others in the tourism and hospitality sector, and in the sports sector. It is something on which we can continue to apply appropriate pressure as best we can across Government and on which we have been doing as best we can up to now. I do not know if there is anything in particular Ms Hanlon would like to add to that.
