Collapse of Setanta Insurance: Central Bank and Department of Finance
4:20 pm
Mr. Pat Casey:
It is important to be clear that if Setanta was regulated by the Central Bank on a prudential and supervisory basis here and went into liquidation, the treatment of policy holders and claims would be identical. It would still be subject to the same qualifications set out in the law in respect of the treatment of policy holders in an insolvency situation. It is important to understand that it would have the same caps and treatment.
