Number Twenty Nine, Georgian...

Topical Issue Debate: Tourism Industry (21 Mar 2013)

Kevin Humphreys: I am disappointed with the Minister of State's response. The ESB is a semi-State company. The response given is a typical Civil Service one. I do not mean that as a personal criticism as I am sure the Minister of State only had sight of the reply before coming into the Chamber. The biggest tourist attraction we have in this country is our people. To downgrade Number Twenty Nine to an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Property Insurance: Discussion (Resumed) with Irish Insurance Federation (19 Mar 2013)

Across Europe international standards apply and provision is made for events that happen perhaps at intervals of 100 years, 150 years and 200 years. There is an international certification for events that happen at those intervals, such as coastal flooding and the one-off...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Property Insurance: Discussion (Resumed) with Irish Insurance Federation (19 Mar 2013)

Kevin Humphreys: If the OPW certifies the work to an international standard of one in 100 years, can that information be easily transferred to the members of the Irish Insurance Federation? I think the levels are taken on the east coast and they arrive at a mean and all the levels are graded from that, so they know exactly the height of the event level. If the local authority can state that the defences it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Property Insurance: Discussion (Resumed) with Irish Insurance Federation (19 Mar 2013)

Kevin Humphreys: I do not know how the association arrived at that figure but from the telephone calls received and the surveys I have carried out, I see a very large number of people who cannot get insurance for flood cover. This means they cannot sell their home or purchase the one they want to because they cannot get a mortgage for it. Judging by the calls we get, the figure of 98% does not seem...
