It is the Consumer Insurance Contracts Bill. I have another Bill that would facility bankers being jailed if they lie to the Central Bank. It was drafted by the office that provides legal assistance to Oireachtas Members. There is no issue around the quality of those Bills. The Government has taken a one-size-fits-all approach. Important legislation that is coming from the Opposition has been stalled simply because it is coming from the Opposition.
