Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:

Apart from motor insurance, which falls under the remit of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, policy responsibility for insurance is a matter for the Minister for Finance. We have had discussions with business and the Minister for Finance would certainly acknowledge, as does our Department, the serious impact of insurance and what has been occurring in the marketplace. Ultimately, where there are insurance disputes, they are resolved through the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman’s dispute resolution-----
