My final question relates to those who are insured abroad. Insurance Ireland moved on this a year and a half ago when a process was set up. The witnesses might recount this to the committee. Many people are very frustrated. For instance, I was contacted by one individual who was insured by AXA Insurance in another European country. When the person moved back to Ireland their no-claims bonus was not recognised. The person is with the same company, although with a different headquarters. Is the honouring of no-claims bonuses regardless of where a customer is insured being addressed by Insurance Ireland? Different companies operate different policies but this is something that needs to clarified.
