Seán Kyne (Galway West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I applaud the Deputy's sincerity and the interest he has taken in this company. It is great news for staff coming up to Christmas that it has been able to find this vital insurance. I will pass on the comments he has made to the Minister of State, Deputy D'Arcy, and I am sure he will also investigate the matter. I am not aware of the company, although it sounds a wonderful facility and important in terms of health and fitness, particularly in regard to its important work for those who suffer from autism or have other special needs. I can imagine it does an outstanding job and it is great, coming up to Christmas, that the staff and management have job security.

The report on employer liability and public liability, which follows on from the previous report on the cost of car insurance, will be published once it is agreed by the Government early in the new year. The Government and the Oireachtas are acutely aware of issues of cost and competitiveness in terms of the claims culture and all that goes with it.

It is wonderful news, and much better than when Deputy Fitzpatrick tabled this Topical Issue for debate earlier in the day,-----
