Property Insurance: Discussion with Irish National Flood Forum

3:40 pm

Mr. Enda O'Donovan:

I will begin the answer and Mr. Dempsey will conclude it. We only want the legislation on the protocols and certification. The insurance industry must accept these certifications and protocols on why it should insure areas. Our proposal is not for insurance. In no way should it be seen as insurance. It is a trust fund to help people. Mr. Dempsey can expand on this point.
