Public liability insurance is a significant issue for those involved in adventure tourism, community centres and community organisations, many of which are facing possible closure. They are very lucky if they can get ridiculously high premiums. When will the Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022, which will address the duty of care and occupiers' liability, be dealt with in the Seanad and enacted? We need IDA Ireland and others to bring more players into the market. We then need to ensure we can keep insurers honest. We know they have not passed on the savings relating to the personal injury guidelines. We need all this to happen as soon as possible because we are behind time.
