Difficulties in Obtaining Home Insurance: Discussion with Irish Insurance Federation
3:15 pm
Mr. Michael Kemp:
In other contexts we have considered whether there is scope to do that on a collective basis at industry level. However, it tends to be a niche that individual companies like to carve out for themselves, for example, through sponsorships. It can be considered, but the decision to make a financial contribution to remedial measures is one for individual companies. It tends not to be the type of initiative that can be managed at industry level through the association.
