I am sorry for cutting across Mr. O'Rourke but I want to stick to the facts here. This man, a customer of Aviva for years and with a no-claims bonus in place, has been told his premium is going up by €138. Mr. O'Rourke can cite statistics and analysis and the whole lot but there are too many people like this man coming into my office and telling me they cannot get insurance or, as in his case, that their premium has gone up. Nothing Mr. O'Rourke has said today explains the increase in this individual's premium, which is similar to what is happening in other cases.
