I wish to ask about the cost of insurance working group in light of the possibility that climbing centres throughout the country will be forced to close because of the exit of insurance providers. I refer to places such as the Dublin climbing centre in Tallaght, which provides facilities for large numbers of young people and older people. It is very important in terms of physical and mental health. Does the Tánaiste agree that there is another failure here of a for-profit insurance market, which incidentally was very profitable for the insurance companies, but where they want they can simply walk away? It points to the need for a State insurance company to provide insurance on a not-for-profit basis.
