Francis O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

Will the Leader ask the appropriate Minister to come before the House for a debate on insurance? Motor insurance premia for young drivers and small industrial concerns continue to rise. The latter cannot afford to pay their insurance premia in many cases because of the increase in costs. Members have asked for a debate on this matter on previous occasions and I acknowledge that we had a recent Private Members' debate on it, but it must be addressed as a matter of urgency. We cannot allow the current position to continue to obtain because so many people are suffering.
