Eamon Scanlon (Fianna Fail)

I support those previous speakers who have asked for a debate on insurance costs. There is no doubt that the costs are coming down. There is evidence of that and one insurance company is advertising insurance for young people. Two years ago someone aged 18, 19, 20 or 22 would not even get a quote. I am glad that this company is offering insurance for 22 year olds at €79 per month. That is some turnaround, thanks to Deputy Noel Treacy who initiated the Motor Insurance Advisory Board and the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill which we passed last week.
