Recommendation No. 7 speaks to the declined cases agreement. Action No. 15 under that recommendation is on track. Insurance Ireland has made the necessary alterations to its website to provide more prominent information on the declined cases agreement on its homepage so people know it is there and can access the facility. As for what has actually been happening, there is still some opacity in this regard. This is why in our reforms the first thing we want from the insurance industry is a report on exactly what is happening with declined cases. That report is one of the actions and is on track for completion before the end of the second quarter. By the end of June we will have a detailed report on exactly how that system has been operating. We can then look to see what needs to be changed.
