When I receive the Barrington group report in March, I will bring proposals to Cabinet in April to address all the issues. It is not fair to suggest we have not addressed the status of the VHI. Recently the Government agreed to commercialise the VHI and put it on the same commercial footing as its competitors, which means it would be required to meet the solvency requirements of its competitors.
