Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I spoke about the flooding in Cork yesterday during the Topical Issue debate with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. My question today is about legislation on holding insurance companies to account. Many insurance companies are failing to negotiate, to interact or to engage fairly with residents. Some of these residents have not had a claim for 25 years and have never suffered flooding, but now we see insurance companies running to the four corners saying that we are in a flood plain when they know we are not in a flood plain.
