Derek McDowell
Question:71 Mr. McDowell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if her attention has been drawn to the fact that most insurance policies sold here, covering loss or damage to property, contain a specific exclusion with regard to any costs incurred by the policyholder in preparing a claim; her views on whether it is appropriate that policyholders should have to incur this potential loss to pursue a claim; if she will raise with the insurance industry the use of these exclusions in view of the fact that they are not found in most European policies; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
