I am advised that the following represents the current financial position of the Insurance Compensation Fund:

-Amount
Insurance levy revenue received in 2016€73.28m
Insurance levy revenue received to date in 2017€20.75m
Repayments of amounts advanced under Section 5(1) of the 1964 Insurance Act by the Minister of Finance on the recommendation of the Central Bank in 2016€106.61m
Section 3 Payments in respect of first party Setanta claimants in 2016€608,085k
The current deficit on the ICF€811.25m
The amount owed to the exchequer by way of loans€833.74m

There have been no repayments of amounts advanced under Section 5(1) of the 1964 Insurance Act by the Minister of Finance on the recommendation of the Central Bank to date in 2017.

There have been no Section 3 Payments in respect of first party Setanta claimants to date in 2017. However, a number of such payments are due to be made shortly.
