Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Ms Stephanie Reid:

The costs of insurance are a matter of urgency. From 2016 to 2017 my insurance costs doubled and my insurance is due again on 16 May, when all the indications are that it will double again. As my circumstances have not changed and I have been claim-free for the past five years, I have no explanation for it. However, it is going to put me out of business, as it will several play centres throughout the country.
