Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Gary Dunne:

In fairness to the companies we approached, I wish to stress that they were absolutely supportive. There was nothing that said they were not supportive of this. What stopped us was concerns around competition law. One of the pitches we initially made was that we put up the list of the companies that do this in the UK and one can match many of them in terms of having an Irish presence as well. They have different IT infrastructure, but that is okay because the issues in Ireland are a little different as well so we need to get different data.
