Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion

Ms Orla Corrigan:

The underwriter is increasing its costs for its existing customer base. There are two ways that customers, childcare providers, can access them. The first is with the ECI group scheme through Arachas, which is the broker the ECI uses. Any provider not in the ECI can also go directly to Arachas which will get it a policy with Allianz. A provider can also go to any insurance broker which can then contact Allianz about cover.
