I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Consumer Insurance Contracts Act 2019 to prevent the use of any average clause by insurance providers.

In moving the motion, I acknowledge Julian Deale, the solicitor from Monkstown who brought this issue to my attention; and the barrister, Liam Vanmechelen BL, who gave me great assistance in understanding the issue and examining the options.

Question put and agreed to.
