I propose to take Questions Nos. 50 and 51 together.

The data services referenced by the Deputy are operated by Insurance Ireland, a representative trade body for the insurance sector.

As Minister for Finance, I am responsible for the development of the legal framework governing financial regulation and therefore have no role in the operation of either data services referred to in the parliamentary questions. As a result, I am not in a position to provide the information being sought by the Deputy.

Detail of each of the data services is available on the website of Insurance Ireland which can be accessed at: .
