Insurance Matters: Engagement with the Alliance for Insurance Reform
2:00 am
Mr. Vincent Jennings:
I do not think we would be that brave or foolish, to be honest. I am calling on the members of the committee to be as furious as we are. We can do nothing. We have to have insurance. Liability insurance for a business is an absolute necessity. However, we are paying more. We are really upset, and the members must be even more so. To Deputy Doherty's credit, and as his colleagues have pointed out, he was to the fore in so much of this, but we really are at the end. The action plan is great, but if all it does is increase the profits of insurance companies, then shame on those who brought it through. I ask members not to give up on it either.
