Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Deputy for raising a very important question. I note from his figures that there has been a significant drop in uninsured vehicles. Nonetheless, 100,000 is a significant number, which creates a ripple effect. We have re-established the insurance sub-committee of the Cabinet committee on economy and investment to address insurance costs more generally. I will talk to the Minister for Justice and the Minister for Transport regarding what further measures or sanctions we can take to reduce that figure even further. It is a very significant figure.
