As the Taoiseach is aware, there is a real crisis in motor insurance premiums. A Government working group is examining the issue at the moment. Will the Taoiseach give a commitment that we will have recommendations from that group by the end of this month, as promised? The personal injuries assessment board (amendment) Bill has been proposed to reform the Injuries Board. It is to be hoped it will contain measures to strengthen the powers of the board to deal with the issue. Will the Taoiseach give a commitment on when it will be published and enacted?

There is a commitment in the programme for Government to set up a new mortgage court. The mortgages (special courts) Bill is to give more powers to the courts to impose solutions in certain cases of mortgage arrears and personal insolvency. Will the Taoiseach update the House on when that legislation will be published and debated?
