Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Property Insurance: Discussion (Resumed) with Irish Insurance Federation (19 Mar 2013)

Catherine Murphy: I wish to return to my question on the 500 m proximity to water. Insurance companies ask people whether they are within 500 m and immediately give a quote or refuse insurance. They never ask whether the premises is defended and they do not ask if there is evidence of flooding in the past. Most of the mitigation measures are on the perimeter of a review except where there is attenuation and...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Health Service Recruitment (20 Mar 2013)

I see the upshot of the posts not being filled last year by virtue of the fact that I...
