Written answers

Minister for Finance

As the Deputy will be aware, the Administrator of an insurance company is an officer of the court appointed by the High Court under the Insurance Act (No.2) 1983 as amended. Accordingly, the provision of reports of the Administrator is a matter for the President of the High Court and is independent of me, or my Department.
