Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion

I have two quick questions. I am conscious of the time but this is a topic I imagine we will be coming back to at a later date. We did not have enough time within the hour. The group that tried to set up a thatched insurance scheme has 320 members but needs 1,000. Is there any way the Government could help the group in setting up a scheme of that kind? If the petitioner were here in front of the Ministers, what would they say to her about the future of thatched properties in Ireland if we are not able to resolve the insurance end of things?
