Insurance Industry
Dail Éireann — 2025-02-13
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

The question before us relates to the ever-increasing insurance costs that motorists, homeowners, small businesses and sports clubs have to pay. One would think all is good with insurance looking at the programme for Government. Does the Minister accept that there is a fundamental problem with insurance in the State? Does he also accept that premiums are too high and are increasing for many? What is he going to do to bring about a reduction in insurance premiums and ensure affordability? In this new Dáil term, will he stop blocking my Bill that would bring accountability and force insurance companies to show whether they are passing on savings that have been made as a result of reforms introduced in these Houses?
