Consideration of Public Petition on Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion
Martin Browne (Tipperary, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Just to get our heads around it, I agree with Deputy O'Donoghue. There is such a small number of such properties, maybe 2,000 or 3,000. How many of those are in the action group? Have the witnesses any figures on that? Even outside of that, a certain amount of those 2,000 or 3,000 properties are insured under farm policies, as Mr. McDonnell said earlier. Out of the 2,000 or 3,000 properties how many would be caught in the same situation as the action group? How many of properties are in the action group?
