Eugene Murphy: It is sometimes easier to get from Kilkenny to Dublin than it is to get from Roscommon to Dublin. The traffic after Palmerstown is chaotic.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2019)

Eugene Murphy: A lot of the discussion before I had to leave for another meeting centred on fraudulent claims, which seems to be a massive issue.

I would welcome a response from each of the witnesses...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2019)

Eugene Murphy: How difficult is that in the context of climate change? In my constituency, people who have been hit by flooding have made claims which, in fairness, have been paid but they are now finding it difficult to have their insurance renewed, even where there may have been works carried out by the local authority and so on.
