Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

First, in regard to the United Kingdom motor business, as Deputy Burton correctly stated, the learner driver side of the market has been opened and substantial progress is being made on other elements of the motor business. However, the pricing of any policies offered in the United Kingdom must be at realistic levels. That issue has delayed progress somewhat to date but I have been advised by the regulator today that he has made progress on that issue and hopes to resolve matters within a relatively short period of time.

On the question about the chairman of Enterprise Ireland, his involvement is focused exclusively on the job creation aspect and advising the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment of the possibilities in that regard and, through him, the Government.
