This is my last point. We need to bring the insurance companies to heel. What they are doing is unacceptable. On the way up to Dublin yesterday I listened to a consumer rights agent speaking about car insurance. They are doing it in that sector as well. In the case I referred to earlier, a company withdrew insurance from a woman who had lived in a house from 1957 to 2012 without being flooded, and she was left, on 29 December 2015, with her house under three feet of water and no insurance. That is unacceptable in any man's book. I call on the Minister of State to take up that issue.
