Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is not true to say that nothing is happening regarding insurance. We have acted on a number of reports and there has been a significant levelling out of insurance premiums in certain sectors. That is not to say that there is not more work to do. Specific sectors are facing very significant insurance hikes right now. We had a debate on one of those, namely, child play areas and businesses, either last week or the week before, and it was highlighted that some people are being put out of business because of insurance increases. I am conscious there is more work to do but this is a continuing challenge for the Government on which we are working.
