Does the insurance provide cover in the case of a child at school sustaining an injury due to a pure accident not related to the carelessness or negligence of a teacher or member of the staff?

Would the Deputy please refer to the question? There are many subheads to the question and if I am to give a satisfactory answer the Deputy should refer to one of those subheadings.

I am not sure which heading it comes under. It is a simple point.

I am aware the Deputy is a legal person. I regret that I am not. I am answering the questions and I would like to be able to help the Deputy but I cannot do so unless he refers to a particular part of the question.

Item (a) school indemnity cover for teachers, students and members of the public. If a student or a child is injured on school premises by a pure accident not related to the negligence of a member of the staff is any cover provided in these insurances for that child?

As a general principle the State would accept liability for personal injury to teachers, students or members of the public only where negligence on its part or on the part of its officers, servants or agents is proved. School managements are not responsible for private property and, accordingly, the indemnity would not apply in the event of loss or theft of personal property or damage to such property.

In other words there is no cover in those circumstances.
