Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Dual Pricing for Insurance: Discussion

Mr. Domhnall Cullinan:

The database covers all of the issues mentioned by the Deputy and Ms Rowland. It will break down the claims channels and payouts via them. The idea is to provide more transparency. It was a massive undertaking. The data request went out in April of this year. Perhaps not unlike the investigation we are about to go into, it involved multiple companies using multiple channels and so on to look into the matter. It will shed light on the aspects that the Deputy mentioned. It will also shed some light on the profitability of the motor insurance industry.
