The payments from the Insurance Compensation Fund outlined below were in respect of insurance undertakings in administration and consequently no caps or limits applied, with the exception of 2014. Payments in respect of that year included one claim relating to an insurance company in liquidation and thus the ICF limit of a maximum payment of 65% of the value of the claim or €825,000, whichever is lower, applied to the payment.
Payments made from the Insurance Compensation Fund 2011-2015
2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Payments | €331,173,695.00 | €499,173,695.00 | €350,000,000.00 | €29,165.70 | €275,207,542.48 |
Notional amount no cap | No difference | No difference | No difference | €42,640.00 | No difference |
Note 2: The ICF payments were reduced in 2014 as no payments were required to be made in respect of Quinn Insurance (In Administration).
