Rose Conway Walsh: I want to discuss the situation in the marts. How many claims have been made by marts in the past year, both the number of claims and the payouts?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I know that Ms Muldoon has said that. I find it interesting. In terms of the number of claims, why would we not know the number of claims that have been made by marts? It is for the good of FBD, and its reputation, to be able to have confidence in what it said.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: That is right. I am really interested in figures. Given the changes that have been made in respect of CCTV, other health and safety measures in the marts and the other investments made, I want to be able to see that the number of claims has been reduced, and that the number of false claims has been reduced. That is the reason I am asking Ms Muldoon for the figures. I would like to see...

Rose Conway Walsh: What about an overall figure for marts?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: No, I just want the figures. A lack of data has been a problem since we started investigating this matter. I seek the raw data and we can analyse it ourselves.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I want the raw figures so I know that the interventions work. I do not dispute what has been said. I want to know the figures otherwise we are all busy fools. People are investing in marts but that is not being reflected. That is all I want to know.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: The marts are not happy because their premia has not come down.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I am going to move on from discussing marts because I can see that I am not going to get raw data. Let us say somebody makes a claim. I get what has been said that an insurer does part of the investigation because one does not want to go to the Garda with bits and pieces as, God knows, they have enough to do. Why do insurers not approach the policyholders and check very simple things...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: No, that is not our experience at all and I am speaking from personal experience. Not at all. That does not happen, I can tell you, and there is no going back to the policyholder to say how much has been paid out from his or her policy.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: That is what I am talking about.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: It is not normal if an insurer's decision is going to have such an impact on my premium. An insurer establishes whether an accident or incident has happened but that is it and there no more engagement with the policyholder-----
