I have heard the calls and they are not only from Midleton.

There is a business in Galway too that has had significant damage that goes way beyond €100,000. I would have to go back to Cabinet to change those thresholds. For now, we are going to stick with a scheme that I think is working well. Getting €100,000 to businesses quickly is what we are trying to do here. We need to have an ongoing conversation with the insurance industry to ensure that it is playing its part in getting money to businesses.
