Insurance Reform – A Top Political Priority

Fuelled by cycle of rising and falling insurance premiums, the high level of personal injury awards, and a series of high profile successes against fraudulent claimants, in recent times it seems that the topic of insurance has never been far from the front pages of the news. 

The newly published draft Programme for Government contains a section dedicated entirely to Insurance Reform, which sets out a range of actions that the proposed new Government plans to take around the issue of insurance reform. 

Chief among them is the pledge to establish a cabinet sub-committee to deal urgently with insurance reform. This means that insurance reform won't rest on the shoulders of just one Minister and suggests a renewed determination on the part of the new Government to make a real impact on delivering upon its insurance reform objectives.
