St. Joseph's Foundation in Charleville is a section 39 organisation which in essence provides State services for people with intellectual disabilities. It is a valuable service to users right across south Limerick and north Cork. As I have raised directly with the Taoiseach several times, the foundation's insurance premium has gone for roughly €120,000 three years ago to €526,000 now. This is despite the fact that the foundation does not have an open claim at the moment. It is paying more than €500,000 for the insurance premium to keep an organisation going that is essentially providing State services. I know there was an initiative whereby the State Claims Agency would cover organisations that are providing State services.
