Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

Engagement with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission

2:00 am

Mr. Brian McHugh:

We have looked at them and we have not seen that test being of concern. There are a lot of brokers in Ireland. There is consolidation. It is something we do and are aware of and something we keep an eye on. Whether consumers are being protected by the behaviours and the actions of brokers is something else. They would be a regulated entity in terms of the Central Bank's role as the insurance regulator and in respect of consumer protection matters. That is where that would fall. However, there are genuine questions around incentives that are important.
