I cannot use here the language I want to use to describe what is going on. There is victimisation of young people, older people and also road hauliers. A number of road hauliers are now insuring abroad and registering abroad. There is a huge flow of jobs from Ireland where we have a recovering economy. This cartel of insurance companies is trying to racketeer and make even more profits on the back of ordinary families. I hope the Minister of State can give some assistance and hope to the families and businesses, especially small businesses, that cannot afford this. It is crippling businesses, families, students and everybody else.
