Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Flood Risk Insurance Cover: Discussion

12:00 pm

Mr. Kevin Thompson:

As I stated, premiums are determined by numerous factors. The actual claims incurred will be the main driver in respect of the cost of premiums. If one puts this into the context of the losses sustained to date, it will have a significant effect on the cost of insurance premiums and the GDP percentage.
