The programme for Government commits to a Cabinet committee on economic recovery and investment to prioritise insurance reform. The survival of an outdoor business in Bray is threatened by high insurance costs as are many community groups, sporting groups and businesses. I look forward to meeting the Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, later to discuss what we can do for Squirrel's Scramble in Bray and the others affected. We need to reduce the cost of insurance, the number of cases and the number of awards made. I ask the Taoiseach to give me a progress update on insurance reform.
