General Scheme of Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Discussion
Rose Conway-Walsh (Mayo, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I will be as succinct as possible. I want to take this opportunity to address the situation around mortgage life protection insurance for people with eating disorders, in particular cases where people are availing of counselling on a monthly basis, which is being used as a reason to refuse them insurance. Is Ms Murdock aware of the difficulty faced by people with eating disorders in getting mortgage policy protection? How do insurance companies in Ireland measure and access recovery? What kind of oversight is there to ensure that firms are not discriminating against people with eating disorders?
