Insurance Costs for Community Groups: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Jackie McMahon:

No. Thankfully, in the markets we are in - agri, farm, consumer and commercial, and small commercial - we do not come across that. However, I go back to the example of the marts, where we are losing money. We are genuinely trying to work with our customers to stay the course and to work with them on good risk management practices. That is a key message I would like to leave with the committee. From the perspective of FBD, as an Irish insurer supporting Irish businesses, we are doing everything we can to be there locally through our branch network providing products and a service that helps businesses grow and prosper. That is what we want to do as a business and that is what we will continue to do, despite the fact that in some risks we are not making money.
