I thank the Ceann Comhairle. On a personal note, I wish the Minister, Deputy Noonan, all the best. It is good to see him in good form and working away following his health difficulties before Christmas. I wish him the very best.

The issue I raise in this question is the need to re-establish the Motor Insurance Advisory Board to examine the rapid escalation in motor insurance premiums. There has been much focus on insurance companies as a result of the flooding issue, which we will discuss later. This is a very important consumer issue and I hope the Minister will agree to the re-establishment of the board.
