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

Developments in the Insurance Industry: Discussion

Mr. Tomás O'Midheach:

As are my colleagues, I am surprised given that the general trend is in the opposite direction. Obviously, we cannot reference particular cases. To some extent, it has to do with the timings. Was it in recent days or recent weeks? I am surprised, as were my colleagues, because in general I would have thought with the reductions in recent times that it would be unusual for any one individual, without some other cause, to have an increase.
