Insurance Matters: Engagement with the Alliance for Insurance Reform

I found the name of that agency; it is the Office to Promote Competition in the Insurance Market. It should have been on the tip of my tongue. Does the alliance appreciate that despite calling for additional resources for that body, it cannot do anything to affect the size of the Irish market? If market size is the key problem here, we might need to look at other potential solutions, for example via the EU through standardisation or opening up the borders a bit more within the industry. I notice it is not pointing to such potential solutions. Have these areas been discussed or considered?
