Mr. Buckley can come back to me with whatever is done on that. Regarding flood insurance, one that comes up repeatedly is that the OPW does work, it holds up and there is a problem with insurance. There is a memorandum of understanding entered into with the insurance sector. Mr. Buckley has it in his report here. The OPW is looking at the possibilities of further development of an agreement, according to Mr. Buckley's report. What is the OPW trying to achieve here? If there is to be public money spent, if the OPW is to do a really good job and if it will resolve the problem, it is unconscionable that there would be still a penalty related to insurance. There seems to be a lag in that in some respects. Will Mr. Buckley give us an idea of exactly what the discussion is between the OPW and the insurance organisations?
