When I looked for this Commencement debate, I was looking for the re-establishment of the MIAB. I sent the request to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport initially because that is where it ended up once it had been disbanded. When my Commencement debate ended up on his desk, the Minister's Department said it had nothing to do with it. It sent it back to the Seanad Office, which then sent it to the Department of Finance, which said it had nothing to do with it and sent it back to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. Regarding the exact issue I wanted to discuss, namely, the re-establishment of the MIAB, is the Minister saying it was initially established under the Department of Industry and Commerce? If so, maybe that is who I should have had in here, and not the Minister. The Minister said the Central Bank was regulating insurance costs, but it is not. Costs are spiralling out of all control at the moment.
