Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Motor Insurance and Uninsured Drivers: Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland

Mr. David Fitzgerald:

For sure. They could put in fraudulent details. One of the advantages of passing the Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021 is that we would have a safe legal basis to pass that motor insurance data on to the Department of Transport. That would enable the Department of Transport to build real-time validation into its systems, in the way the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach has described. I think the Department has a lot of plans for the data when we are allowed to pass them on to it. I cannot speak for the Department, but my understanding is that it is interested in applications like that.
