I move amendment No. 7:

In page 21, to delete lines 30 to 48 and in page 22 to delete lines 1 to 6.

The amendment relates to the information that must be contained in advertisements and other information sheets. The provision directly overlaps with the large-scale advertising guidelines set out by the Financial Regulator to which competitors of the VHI must adhere. Health insurers argue that adding an additional layer of regulation to competitors is ridiculous as it means they will be required to deal with two sets of advertising rules under regulation.
