Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 April 2014
702. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding an indirect discrimination practiced by a motor insurance company (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17723/14]
View answerMy Department's role with regard to motor insurance is confined to the enactment of policy relating to the relevant Road Traffic Acts. Motor insurance is provided as a private contract between the supplier and the customer. Any terms and conditions of motor insurance policies are a contractual matter between the person insured and the insurer and are not matters in which I would have any direct involvement or responsibility. The Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority (IFSRA), under the aegis of the Minister for Finance, regulates and supervises insurance undertakings.
