Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Developments in the Insurance Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (26 May 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I will conclude on this. Fraud in all forms has to be stamped out. AXA has a big part on its website about how fraud is increasing year on year, but the reality is that only 48 cases were referred to the Garda last year and only 63 cases the year before. There has actually been a reduction in the number of cases that have been referred to the Garda for fraud. If insurance companies are...

Pearse Doherty: Could we just get an answer to the question that was put to AIG? Sorry. I know we have three minutes left. AXA has told us there has been an €80 reduction in premiums renewed in April. Can AIG provide us with similar information? Has there been a reduction at all and, if so, at what level? Again, this is not price signalling; we are looking at what has happened in the market.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Developments in the Insurance Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (26 May 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Will the representatives of AIG answer the questions on premium reduction? I am not asking them to look at price signalling into the future, although I note both companies were far too happy and well able to signal when they pushed up premiums by 21% year on year. Not only did they do it publicly but we find from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC, that they were doing...

Pearse Doherty: Inné, thug an Rialtas teachtaireacht shoiléir d’úinéirí tithe agus iad siúd atá ag iarraidh a bheith i mbun úinéireacht tithe. Sin é, nach bhfuil fáilte rompu anseo sa chathair ach go bhfuil fáilte mhór - céad míle fáilte - ón Rialtas roimh na creach-chistí a bheidh ag ceannach árasán i...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 May 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Has the Minister not listened to the testimonies from those people that I read into the record? They are desperately looking for action and hope, and the action the Minister delivered in the past seven days, along with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, was to come in here and vote against banning rent increases and reducing rents. The action he delivered was voting against proposals Sinn...
