Splendid. What a brilliant political intellect I have. Self-praise is catching. The part I wanted to object to involved 11 September 2001. I have to say, a Leas-Cathaoirligh, this House is showing an increase in common sense over the past 24 hours that is quite remarkable. I congratulate the Members on what Chairman Mao would have called their Great Leap Forward. I believe insurance companies are involved in a whole series of scams. They are massaging the situation, and using 11 September 2001 as an excuse for everything. Rather than aiding and abetting the insurance companies, we should be hammering them over it.
