Insurance Costs for Community Groups: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Eimear McGuinness:

Not a thing. I feel after talking to many mart managers over the past year or two, but especially in recent weeks as I knew I was coming here, about their claims, many that were falsified were like an open book on what is happening in marts. Why are these claims suddenly a big issue in the past three or four years? The number seems to be growing. It is an easy way to get money. In the case of one of our claims, which I will not go into in detail, the gentleman had claimed off two other companies within the past ten years. That was not justified. It was never examined. He was just offered a settlement. There were no breakages; he had a sore toe.
