The point goes back to liability. The insurance company must accept that if a case is brought before the PIAB, liability will be dealt with at that stage, and not parked and possibly brought up again in any subsequent court case. I understand what the Tánaiste said. Perhaps I did not make my point very well; she will have to forgive me. My colleague, Senator Coghlan, was to deal the issue but had to withdraw this morning. The Tánaiste was not the only one in doubt about attending this House. I too was in doubt.
