Insurance investigation

Summary

The Leader supports investigating rising insurance premiums and says he will seek a ministerial debate on the issue.

Senators Kelly and Bradford highlighted the rise in the cost of motor, home and other insurance premia. Senator Kelly called for the motor insurance advisory board to be reactivated. I agree with him that there is a need for an investigation. I know the relevant joint Oireachtas committee has called for an investigation. I will endeavour to have the Minister come to the House to discuss this matter.

Senator O'Donovan raised councils ignoring provisions of the Urban Regeneration and Housing Act 2015. He said he would give me the details, which I will pass on to the Minister. Senator Mullins raised new patient safety measures, which are to be welcomed. Hopefully, these will improve the health services and how people are treated.

Senator Craughwell raised Nos. 11 and 14 on the Order Paper. Senator Wilson replied in a positive manner and mentioned there has been an all-party approach to PRSI and councillors.
