Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Mr. Paul McGarry:
I think if the committee asked firms, they would probably say the data is commercially sensitive information or it is information that, if it were released, would give competitors information about the market and their behaviour in the market. That is a little hollow in light of the other information they are putting out, not to mention the purpose for which the committee is seeking the information from them - that is, to see whether they are acting in that way.
