They could have been going to Lough Gur. We need to sort this out. Why is this happening? If it is the case, we need the insurance companies to come clean now and give us a list of those people who operate in areas like county councils, emergency response or voluntary football teams and tell us whether those people need to declare that when they are writing their policy. We do not want people to be penalised for doing public service.
I congratulate the Minister of State. When he took office and this issue arose he did not shirk his responsibility. He got stuck in straight away and that took some guts. I admire him for that. I wish him the very best. He is up against a cartel, one of the most powerful cartels this country has ever had. It will take a lot to break it. I believe the Minister of State is the man to do it and I wish him the very best.
