They are not my figures but independent figures from the CSO. They are not from the Department or Insurance Ireland. They are independently assessed by the CSO. The Deputy should not mistake what he calls the lack of speed. We are not underestimating the importance of this issue. To demonstrate its importance, there are four legislative measures from the Department of Finance, three legislative measures need to be changed by the Department of Justice and Equality and there is also legislation to be changed by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. There is much work to be done. If any Member of the House, committee or group is prepared to make time available for these legislative changes, I would be delighted to hear it. We have nine legislative measures that will eventually have the overall impact. It is the cumulative effect of all these changes that will have the impact, not just one or two changes.
