- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Irish Mortgage Market: Right2Homes (20 Jun 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, I beg to differ with Mr. Honohan. For most people their home is their home, whether it is rented, owned by a local authority, owned by a co-op, or privately owned. There is a deep attachment to the home. That is the level of detail that-----

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Motor Insurance Costs: Minister of State at the Department of Finance (1 Jun 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I commend the Minister of State and his officials on their work to date. A liquidator for Setanta is based in Malta but Deloitte is actually acting on his behalf in Ireland. I suggest we bring the liquidator before the committee to find out exactly where he is at on the liquidation of Setanta and paying out premiums. It might be a worthwhile endeavour. It is just a suggestion but what we...

Kieran O'Donnell: Why might it not be possible?

Kieran O'Donnell: When liquidators were appointed to the Quinn Group, they were brought before the finance committee. It is a component around which there is lack of clarity. We have the Insurance Compensation Fund and we know that is 65%. It is a proposal and it is worth looking at.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Motor Insurance Costs: Minister of State at the Department of Finance (1 Jun 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: The Setanta judgment in the Supreme Court should bring about a reduction in premiums. As the regulator, does the Central Bank have the power to request motor insurance companies to provide details of the breakdown of premiums, in particular the element of the premium which could bring a discount in relation to the uncertainty arising on foot of Setanta?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Motor Insurance Costs: Minister of State at the Department of Finance (1 Jun 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: They are basically saying the premium will come down because we now have clarity around the Setanta judgment. By definition, there must have been a form of loading on premiums on foot of the uncertainty surrounding the Setanta judgment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Motor Insurance Costs: Minister of State at the Department of Finance (1 Jun 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: No. What I am looking at is simple. When we were doing the report around the insurance industry which was in parallel if slightly prior to the Minister of State's report, we had insurance companies coming in and saying "uncertainty this" and that would have fed into the Minister of State's report also. It was all abstract. If they are now saying the uncertainty around Setanta was one of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Motor Insurance Costs: Minister of State at the Department of Finance (1 Jun 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: Absolutely. I take that very much in the spirit in which it was delivered. How many competitors have come into the motor insurance market in the last six months?
