Insurance and transport support Bills
Deputy Durkan asks when the insurance and health transport-support Bills will be ready. The Tánaiste expects both next year, noting that their heads have not yet been cleared by Government.
I refer to the Government's legislative programme. No. 83 is the insurance Bill which covers that part of the insurance industry which is not covered by the insolvency II directive. Have the heads of the Bill been cleared and when is it likely to come before the House? The purpose of the health (transport support) Bill, No.89 on the list, is to assist those with severe disabilities who are unable to access public transport. When will that Bill be ready? Has it been cleared by the Cabinet and when will it be brought before the House?
