I will come back to what the Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, said regarding the Department's suggestion of potential group insurance to owners. Will he expand a little further on that? For example, how many members are needed in such a group? Is there a set limit? If owners cannot reach that required number, what happens? I will also come back to the figure for the number of thatched properties in the country. I think a figure of 3,000 was quoted at a previous meeting.
