I know. I was watching the clock. I am talking about supervision in Dundalk. That related to the appointment of sergeants. The solutions to those issues are in train but they have an impact on An Garda Síochána's ability to do business.

While I have the Minister in front of me - as everybody says - I will mention that we need to deal with the issue of duty of care. Deputy Daly raised the issue of PIAB. We still have not seen a solution with regard to insurance premiums. We all have multiple people coming to us to say that the price of their car insurance has not dropped. Beyond that is the very significant issue of public liability insurance. My residents' association is facing a bill of €3,400 and a claim has been made in respect of a particular piece of ground it has stewardship over. We need to look at duty of care as soon as possible.
