Can the Taoiseach inform the House as to when he expects we will debate the terms of reference of the statutory commission of investigation into NAMA surrounding the Project Eagle sale and other activities?

The country is currently dealing with the increasing costs of car insurance, with a 40% increase this year on top of a 30% increase last year. Everybody agrees there needs to be more transparency in terms of claims for personal injuries, so can the Taoiseach explain how the requirement by the Courts Service to set up a personal injuries register in 2004 has still not happened? The Minister said that it was because it does not have the IT facilities at this point in time. Twelve years later, this has still not been done yet this is one of the things people believe could reduce the cost of insurance. Can the Taoiseach give a commitment that it will happen without delay?
