Yesterday The Irish Times carried the story of the Financial Regulator moving to regulate the health insurance industry. This echoed sentiments here and was in line with the co-operation of the Leader in ensuring this issue was tackled, which gives hope for the future. We have also tackled the insurance sector, the banks and stockbroking. In today's Irish Independent, Mr. Stephen Kinsella very strongly makes the case that we now need to tackle the "Big Four" accountants which prepared accounts for the Irish banks which showed them to be solvent shortly before we had to put ¤64 billion into the same banks.
