Motor Insurance and Uninsured Drivers: Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland
Mr. David Fitzgerald:
We are just in the process of finalising our 2022 figures, so I hope to have something more up to date in a few weeks' time. We analysed this previously, however. We do not know by the nature of uninsured driving, because you could register your car in Dublin but you could be driving in Cork. What we can follow is where the accidents are happening, and we can use that as a kind of proxy. Dublin, Louth, Limerick and Longford are particular hot spots where we see a disproportionate amount, when we look at it through a per capitalens. We take our claims county by county, and then we use census data to get a per capitaview. Those four counties have a disproportionate number of uninsured claims.
