Considerable concern has been expressed in recent weeks regarding insurance cover for many sensitive institutions and organisations all over the country, including some that cater for children with special needs. Given the urgency and seriousness of the matter, will some intervention be made with the insurance companies to ensure that a catastrophe does not occur as a result of the quadrupling and more of premiums in some cases?

For reasons of time, I ask Deputy Michael Moynihan to pose his question now.

Irish Community Rapid Response has located an air ambulance service in Rathcoole, which is near Millstreet in County Cork. All the appropriate statutory regulations have been complied and a service level agreement has been entered into with the HSE and Department of Health. However, the documentation is still on the desk of the Minister for Health and this is causing a delay in the commencement of operations. This service will be crucial for the south of the country. Does the Taoiseach know why the Minister has not signed off on approval for the service? Does the Minister or the Government plan to sign off on the project shortly?
