No, I am not making any assumption; this is a fact. Half of Cork city has been geo-coded as being a flood risk as has half of Dublin and other areas. The geocoding is at the centre of this problem. I want Mr. Kemp to explain to the committee how I get out of geocoding. While the insurance industry minimising its risks is a legitimate business practice, if it is cherry-picking that is an entirely different business altogether. How do I get out of geocoding?
