I found the answers to the Chair's question about attracting other competition interesting. It would be important for Insurance Ireland to state it was found guilty of breaches of anti-trust law by the European Commission. It was found to be denying access to databases required for competitors to come into the State. This operated from 2009 until today. It had to agree with the European Commission to open the InsuranceLink database to other competitors to make it accessible and fair and not link it to membership of Insurance Ireland. Insurance Ireland has been investigated for fraud-like activity since 2019 and there have been findings against it. Is access to InsuranceLink independent on membership of Insurance Ireland? If so, since when?
