Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Ms Caeva O'Callaghan:

Even more than that, there should be a single database that contains all the details pertinent to that vehicle in order that a garda can pop in the car registration number and confirm it is insured with insurance company X, passed its national car test, NCT, one year ago and is taxed. Consequently, the garda would know it is insured, it is on road legally and is roadworthy. This information should all be held together on a single database. Insurance Ireland is working to collate this information and to have it available but brokers are finding it difficult to break in to use this system with Insurance Ireland.
