Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

We cannot start breaking up VHI. I appreciate that we are not operating from a greenfield site but that is a good thing. Every Member who contributed on Second Stage was proud of the VHI and felt a sense of ownership. Some of us have been members of VHI since we were born.

I was trying to book a winter holiday and VHI travel insurance is the best value in the market. Not even a credit card company will provide cheaper travel insurance than €49. I would hate to see that removed and I hope the Financial Regulator will not do so. Nothing bars the competitors from introducing something similar.
