Insurance Industry
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-21
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I have a simple question. Is the insurance industry taking a hand at the Minister of State and the Government? For the past six years, the Government and Ministers, particularly Ministers in the Minister of State's party, have been telling insurance companies their expectation that they will reduce prices but prices have gone in the other direction for businesses and community groups. Does the Minister of State think the insurance industry is taking a hand at the Government? The insurance industry has taken all of the reforms that have been passed in these Houses and pocketed them. The profits of insurance companies are now at bumper levels and prices continue to rise, as they have every year since the parties opposite have been in government.
