Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

In the context of the consumer and competition Bill or otherwise, I wish to raise with the Taoiseach insurance for flood damage and the problems for those who have no insurance, who are underinsured or who will not be able to get insurance in the future. In the context of that Bill or otherwise, is it possible that the Taoiseach could arrange a special investigation into insurance for flood damage, the problems associated with it, the lack of insurance and a possible arrangement for an uninsured risk committee whereby there could be some mediation between those who cannot get insurance and the group of insurers involved in this area? Does he recognise that it is a particular problem now and is likely to be a continuing one?
