Yesterday, the Minister for Transport came before the House and we had quite a beneficial debate. I ask the Leader to invite him to return to debate the arbitration process. Mr. Padraic White, the chairman of the Rail Procurement Agency, recently expressed deep concern at the level of compensation, as have others involved in the infrastructural projects. A half acre of land was sold recently in Dublin for €3.65 million. That is unsustainable.

Following on from the Minister for Transport's comments yesterday, I ask the Leader to invite the Tánaiste to come before the House in order that we might inquire about the pressure she is applying to the insurance area. The penalty points system has been in operation for six months and there has been a reduction in the number of road deaths, which has resulted in massive savings for insurance companies. Much more pressure should be exerted on them to reduce their premia immediately. The Minister referred to many of the steps being taken by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment and it would be helpful if she outlined to the House what she is doing in response to the 69 recommendations in the MIAB report published last year.
