Gabhaim buíochas don fhoireann uilig as achan rud. I have brought up the issue of the crisis we are facing in public liability insurance with the Tánaiste previously. I welcome that he will work alongside Deputy Doherty on the Judicial Council (Amendment) Bill. While payouts and claims are down, premiums are up. I will mention Blackrock Community Centre, which was charged €11,000 for a single year's premium. A GoFundMe campaign sorted out this year's premium but that is not sustainable. We need to do much more work to get more underwriters back into the market but alongside that, when will the heads of Bill on dealing with the duty of care issue be sorted out? We need a timeline and delivery on that. I also welcome what is being done regarding the perjury Bill.
