Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Taoiseach the cost of insurance under different insurance headings such as public liability, buildings cover, employer liability and so on for his Department and each body under its aegis; the name of the insurance provider for each year since 2010, in tabular form; the number of current outstanding insurance claims against his Department or the body under its aegis; and the estimated cost of those claims, if available.

Written answers

The Taoiseach

My Department and the National Economic and Social Development Office [NESDO] operate under State indemnity, a self-insurance model whereby the State bears the financial risk associated with the cost of claims. The management of such claims is delegated to the State Claims Agency.

There are currently no insurance claims outstanding against my Department.
