I have to again raise the issue of insurance costs. Like many other Deputies, I have been contacted regularly by people who have been given exorbitant quotes for insurance cover, particularly those in the child play area and those who provide entertainment both on and off campus. I have a note of a case where the person concerned got insurance cover for €3,000 in 2015 and the cheapest quote that person have been able to get today in 2019 is €23,500. Many fine words have been spoken about insurance reform but nothing is happening about it. Will the Tánaiste commit the Government to addressing once and for all this desperately serious issue and the challenges facing people and do something about it? That man who contacted me about that quote who is providing significant employment in his community will have to close his business if he cannot get a quote under the almost €24,000 he was given.
