The names of the Irish companies which are licensed to transact motor insurance business are included in page 7 of the Report on Assurance Companies for the year 1951 which was presented to both Houses of the Oireachtas.
The names of the foreign insurance companies licensed to transact motor insurance business in Ireland are included in pages 8, 9, 10 and 11 of that report; and all the underwritingsyndicates and motor syndicates mentioned on page 29 of the report are also licensed to transact motor insurance business in Ireland.
I do not think it would be appropriate that I should state in respect of the Irish companies which of them are members of the Irish Insurance Association. In this connection I would refer the Deputy to the reply given to a question in Dáil Éireann on 4th March.
