Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Mr. Kevin Thompson:

Again, it is difficult for me to comment. What we do know is that a claims officer would assimilate a certain amount of information, and would adjudicate on that claim to the best of their ability. As I say, insurers are becoming more robust in their claims settlement, albeit treading a fine line to make sure they do not penalise genuine claimants.
