Third Party motor insurance is required by law for the use of all mechanically propelled vehicles in a public place. The contract for motor insurance is a private contract between the policyholder and the motor insurance company. The enforcement of Road Traffic Law is a matter for An Garda Siochana.
The Irish Insurance Federation, which is the representative body for insurance companies in Ireland, has indicated that there is no evidence of a significant increase in motorists cancelling their motor insurance policies.
