Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Patrick Kenny:

In the system in Ireland, the courts are essentially the commission authority. We go before the courts and ask a judge to make a finding in a case. That can be in the civil courts to make a declaration and get an injunction. If, in a case, we found that there was what we call a "hardcore" cartel, then Ms Karen O'Leary's division would produce a file to be considered by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
