The heckling is getting to me.

Deputy Buttimer is getting too much for the rest of us.

In the city of Cork, many people cannot obtain insurance due to flooding or subsidence-----

It is the fault of Fine Gael.

It sounds like a Topical Issue matter to me.

Has the Government a plan? I wrote to the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform on this issue.

Is this about promised legislation?

It is a pitch for a chairmanship.

I am being heckled but it is a serious matter. There are people in the city of Cork who do not have house insurance or whose house insurance has increased by 150%-----

The Deputy should raise it some other way, not on the Order of Business.

Can the Government, through European or other means, introduce legislation regarding that point?

The point raised by Deputy Buttimer is a serious one for those so concerned.

What legislation is that?

Besides noise.

Very partisan.

The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Minister for Finance are attempting to work out a solution in respect of which money has been made available.
