Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

Will the Leader arrange for the Tánaiste to come to the House to discuss insurance, which is something she promised to tackle? We were told premium prices would come down for motor, home and business insurance. Small companies are closing down on a weekly basis because of the high cost of insurance and we still hear of young people having to pay anything from €3,000 to €6,000 for car insurance. An equality issue is also involved here; non-nationals who have secured Irish driving licences are charged more for insurance than Irish citizens. That is discrimination. It is time we had a debate on insurance.
