Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion
11:00 am
Dr. Michael Gillen:
I would love to be a position to answer the question. I truly believe, however, that if I were to give an answer, it would be based on anecdote and hearsay. This is why I reiterate that in the absence of independently verified concrete data no one can answer it. We call all give an opinion, but the trouble with the debate to date is it is based on opinion and not facts. If the committee gets the data it will have the answer.
