Written answers

My Department does not take out insurance policies but pays out compensation where necessary. Accordingly, there are no insurance claims against my Department. In cases where a person takes a personal injury claim against the Department, this is handled by the State Claims Agency.

The Pensions Authority, Pensions Ombudsman, Pensions Council and Social Welfare Tribunal have no insurance costs. The Citizens Information Board has no outstanding insurance claims and has provided the following information on insurance costs, in tabular format, for the period in question.
