I will give an example from last week involving an elderly person who had a tip with her car and notified the insurance company that the car she tipped into had been slightly damaged.

She went to the garage and it was fixed for less than €100. Her insurance premium was doubled. There was no insurance claim, nothing like that. She rang up the insurance and asked if the other party had claimed. The Minister is saying and I want to get this clear that people can have a rightful expectation to have their premium reduced by 23%.
