Higher Education Investment and Costs: Statements (2 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I was the first person in my family to go to university and I am very proud of that. I said it before on the record of the House. When I graduated, albeit a small bit after I could have, shall we say, it was a very proud day for me and my family. I experienced third level as what we might call a straightforward student, or one going straight from secondary school to university. I returned...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for coming in and for the evidence they have given. My first question arises out of the contents of Ms Murdock's opening statement. When I read it, I noticed there was something missing, namely, any mention of premiums or a reduction in premiums. Ms Murdock spoke of savings in legal costs and so on but there is no reference to these being passed on to customers. She...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I will ask Mr. Boland to come in on this in a second. I was looking at parliamentary question data from December 2021 showing profits within the insurance industry. For 2019, the operating profit or loss as a percentage of total income for employer's liability, public liability and commercial property insurance was 3%. Does Ms Murdock know what that figure was in monetary terms?...

Louise O'Reilly: Sorry to interrupt, but if Ms Murdock does not have the figure to hand, I ask that it be sent on to the committee. The amount of money involved is very important. I am conscious of time. Unless one of Ms Murdock's colleagues wants to come in, I want to ask Mr. Boland-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I ask that it be done. I wish to check with something with the Chair. Am I right in thinking that Ms Murdock is precluded from talking about future premiums, but that other witnesses are not?

Louise O'Reilly: I did not think they were.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That is fair enough, but the same rules do not apply to Mr. Boland. I just wanted to establish that. Does Mr. Boland see the proposed Bill as being an effective way of reducing premiums, or might it reduce something else for someone else?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Here is hoping that it is to the benefit of the consumers and businesses. I do think there is any guarantee of that, but let us hope it proves to be the case. I put the following question to Mr. Boland or Ms Sheridan, who will have very practical experience of the issue. Where policies or premiums were suspended or significantly reduced during the lockdown period, when the high-level...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sure Ms Murdock's industry does not want to see its customers closing their doors, in the first instance. I ask her to comment on the 16% increase in premiums since the judicial guidelines were introduced. That worries me.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I believe Ms Murdock. The policyholders have to be viable. I am aware that Mr. Boland wants to come in. I am not interested in getting into a back and forth because that is not the purpose of this meeting. I will give Mr. Boland a minute to respond.
