This morning the Irish insurance industry announced plans to distribute what it calls green cards to motor insurance holders so that they will be able to prove that they have insurance when they travel in the North and across the UK. Could the Tánaiste confirm whether there is a legislative basis for the green cards and what are the plans to deal with practical issues such as insurance for communities who live on the Border or who have to travel regularly into the UK? No specific proposals are outlined in the contingency plans, but given the conversation between the Tánaiste and the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, it does not seem there is any understanding at his level about anything in relation to Brexit so we should not be surprised.
