Ms Bernie Connolly:

It is not an issue because there is nobody involved. I am referring mainly to electrical and electronic goods. There are very few operating in the community sector. Rehab engages in some electronics reuse activity, and there is an organisation in Trinity that emerged during the Covid pandemic to supply laptops to students. Given the extenuating circumstances during the Covid pandemic, I am not sure what the Trinity organisation's insurance circumstances were. For us in managing waste electrical and electronic equipment, we cannot get a quote for product liability insurance. I started in 2007. We had an insurance policy that included product liability, public liability and director liability. It cost €1,900 and related to a group scheme under the community services programme. Today, we have no product liability insurance. Our insurance bill is over €50,000. That has displaced two jobs in our place, and that is without looking for product liability insurance. Our broker has been trying to get us product liability insurance for non-electrical and electronic equipment in order to have a tool reuse library or make tools available to the men's sheds. We would gather them because we do house-to-house collections, but we still have not been able to get a quote. We cannot answer the Deputy's point because we have not got that far yet even.
