Property Insurance: Discussion (Resumed) with Irish Insurance Federation

3:20 pm

Mr. Michael Horan:

I am sorry, it was South Dublin County Council. What we are trying to do in the working group is to understand clearly through the files from the OPW the areas which are protected by the flood defences which have been built and the standard to which those defences have been built. It goes beyond letters being given to individual households. It is about trying to understand, on a global basis, which areas are protected. That is a more efficient way of doing it because, as I said, household insurance is not the sort of product in repect of which one can survey every house. One needs to be able to understand which areas are protected.
