Mr. Hassett is perfectly entitled to make that claim. The assessment and explanation given by the insurance industry in Ireland is that the reason we have high premiums in motor insurance is because of high awards, fraudulent claims and legal costs. Would Mr. Hassett accept that another reason we have high premiums in Ireland is because the profits of the insurance industry are too high when it comes to motor insurance?
