I have a few points before I allow other members to contribute. I agree with Mr. Darby's last statement that if something is not done urgently we will lose thatched buildings. I am from Tipperary and Holycross Abbey comes to mind because of the thatched buildings there. It would be a sin to lose thatched buildings from around the country. It is terrible to think that Ms McNelis's mother is afraid to have visitors because her house is not insured and it is stupid that in 2022, nothing is being done to address this. How did the companies that insured the house down through the years treat the family? Was there a problem or did they put many obstacles in the way?
