A few years ago before the cabal of speculators and parasites crashed the economy and put the burden on everybody else, there were serious allegations regarding Quinn Insurance, which emanated from a whistleblower who had left the company, about unorthodox and unacceptable methods of pressurising claimants to settle on terms that were favourable to the company. There were allegations, for example, of retired gardaí being used to visit claimants in their homes, etc. Did the Central Bank look into that? It was widely reported at the time. Will Mr. McAteer give an assurance that nothing like that is happening in the new manifestation of the company?
