I acknowledge the Deputy's comments, but I must also acknowledge the work that has been done and the increase in insurance coverage. Everyone wants to beat insurers with a stick, but after working with them and giving them the information they require, they are now stepping up to the mark. I would like to see it happen faster, but I must also acknowledge that, by working with them, we are getting through the problem the Deputy outlined. Where we have built defences and people have gone back to insurance companies through their local authorities and the OPW, they are getting insurance.
