Insurance Bill timetable

Summary

Deputy Bannon asks when the long-awaited insurance Bill will appear. The Taoiseach says its heads are not yet cleared but publication is expected later in the year.

Proper insurance cover is important to many families, whether it be for their car, their property or their home. When can we expect the insurance Bill to come before the House? It has been listed for quite some time. Are there sufficient staff in the Attorney General's office to draft the legislation in the programme for Government?

It is always a challenging issue. There are 41 Bills on the list to be dealt with during this session. Many of those staff are specialist and are involved heavily in very intricate work on a number of these Bills. Deputy Bannon mentioned the insurance Bill. The heads have not yet been cleared but that is due for later this year.
