Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I support the request by the Senator O'Meara that the Leader make time available in the next few weeks for a full debate on the report by the Competition Authority and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment published yesterday, particularly on the percentage profits of insurance brokers from insurance premia. Much work has been done in regard to the insurance industry. The Joint Committee on Enterprise and Small Business has carried out extremely important work but most Members of the House are not on that committee. It is important that we have a full debate on that report, the insurance industry and the workings of the PIAB.
