The IIF is pushing the matter back to the OPW and looking for information from same. I have been told that one of the insurance companies operating in Bray is refusing to provide insurance near Superquinn, one of the sites flooded during Hurricane Charlie. People are worried. Many lost a great deal in Hurricane Charlie and it cost those who did not have insurance at the time a significant amount of money. I ask our guests to do what they can and to impress upon the IIF the severity of the problem in Bray and elsewhere. People desperately want to know what they can do.
