Amharc ar fhreagra51. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the information contained in the integrated information data service database; the body which owns the database; the procedure for a new insurance firm entering Ireland to gain access to the database; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23046/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 50 and 51 together.
The data services referenced by the Deputy are operated by Insurance Ireland, a representative trade body for the insurance sector.
As Minister for Finance, I am responsible for the development of the legal framework governing financial regulation and therefore have no role in the operation of either data services referred to in the parliamentary questions. As a result, I am not in a position to provide the information being sought by the Deputy.
Detail of each of the data services is available on the website of Insurance Ireland which can be accessed at: http://www.insuranceireland.eu/member-services/shared-services .
