Amharc ar fhreagra88. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance if insured persons are informed if their information is put on a database (details supplied); if they have the ability to prevent information being shared on the database; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22228/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 86 to 88, inclusive, together.
The database referenced by the Deputy is 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 this database referred to in the parliamentary questions. As a result, I am not in a position to provide the information being sought by the Deputy.
Details of the database can be accessed at: http://www.insuranceireland.eu/member-services/shared-services or at: http://www.inslink.ie/.
