Unclaimed Life Assurance Policies Bill 2002: Committee Stage.

 

I urge the Minister to take into account that when trying to seek out claimants we should make sure information is readily available. Someone living a long way from Dublin who needs to be contacted can simply look at the website to see this information. The alternative is they have to write if they hope to be contacted some way or another. Using Iris Oifigiúil or two newspapers circulating in the State is like something that would have happened 100 years ago. Let us assume there is no cost to this. Every insurance undertaking has a website and it would be a simple matter to include this information there. I urge the Minister to accept the amendment.
