Unclaimed Life Assurance Policies Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

Let me take the example of people who, though they have not even considered it themselves, are asked by another party whether it is possible that they have an unclaimed assurance policy. These people should be able to look up a register at home. If they are in Donegal, for example, they should be able to consult the relevant site to discover whether they have an unclaimed policy, rather than having to go through the traditional, old fashioned paper register. I may be wrong, and hopefully the Minister will point out that I am incorrect and that the legislation will insist that the register be made available on the Internet, rather than making people travel all the way from another part of Ireland to seek out the register, wherever it is, and go through it.
