Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-30
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I would like to know the Government's plans for the insurance sector. While we welcome the Law Reform Commission report, which is very beneficial, we are all waiting on the Judicial Council review. The Alliance for Insurance Reform has stated there may be a need for a plan B, which is possibly legislating to deal with cases if the Judiciary does not step up to the mark. This is about the significant pay-outs while there is the continuing travesty of dual pricing. In my constituency, a community centre was charged €6,000 last year and insurance companies would not quote it for public liability insurance this year. The centre was then quoted €3,000 on the promise that the proposals from the Government would be enacted, combined with a proposal for the establishment of an the Irish leisure industry standards association, ILISA, that I made to the Government and that would require Government supports. One can see that it led to positive results.
