John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

That was in the dim and distant past, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, and I have no recollection of it. I had to pay a premium that was a multiple of the value of my car. Other young people also experience this. The premium I paid for my 1.4 litre car that was worth no more than €200 was €2,500. I was not alone in this. There are people with bigger premia for less valuable cars.
