The legal profession blames the insurers and the insurers blame the legal profession and the judges but we have a thing in this country called "the Government". Many taxi drivers are charged €4,000 per annum for their insurance, which is €80 per week before they put petrol or diesel in their cars to get out on the road. That is crippling and the figures given by Senator Conway-Walsh for kiddies' trains speak for themselves.The Government must act on these matters. The time for setting up commissions and that baloney is over. We need action now.
