Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 June 2017
112. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection the expenses incurred by his Department relating to insurance of all types in each of the past five years; the cost of each insurance policy held by his Department over the same time period per annum; if he will provide the same data for all bodies under the aegis of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26292/17]
View answerThe Department does not take out insurance policies but pays out compensation where necessary. Accordingly, there are no insurance expenses incurred by my Department and no insurance policy costs. 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 have no outstanding insurance claims and have provided the following information on insurance costs in tabular form since 2010:
