Insurance Industry
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-15
============================================================

Tony McCormack (FF), Offaly

I appreciate the Minister of State's answer. One business owner even told me he is considering not paying insurance at all. Smaller businesses like landscape gardeners, plumbers and electricians are in the same position. This is all because they want to keep the doors open. That is how desperate some SMEs feel. How can we reassure these small employers that there is a plan to make insurance both fair and accessible so they are not forced to consider such risks?
