It is important that this is done and that Insurance Ireland keeps track of this issue. I am sure actuaries in the insurance industry have worked on a calculation and I would expect Insurance Ireland to have a figure. I also expect the Comptroller and Auditor General to play a key role in this matter. Irrespective of what we in this committee may say or what scrutiny takes place, it will not matter if a damn unless insurance premiums are reduced and insurance companies stop insuring people on the basis that they will never make a claim.
