I raised a similar question yesterday. This matter is getting very serious now. The dramatic increases in insurance premiums being demanded are affecting community-based organisations, some of which are public and some private, as well as a number of special needs schools. Might it be possible to refer this issue, in the short term, to the Financial Regulator? I ask that because there has been no indication as to why the premiums should be increased by up to 1,000%, as has happened in some cases. The clear indication is of an attempt to put people out of business or withdraw insurance cover altogether.
