My understanding in respect of Quinn Insurance Limited is that a fund in the amount of €350 million was available and was being gambled with. There is no question or doubt about that. When the company was no longer able to pay out compensation claims, that fund was not there. Are we satisfied there are now enough checks and balances to ensure the security that is supposed to be provided by the insurance companies?
