Insurance costs for younger drivers

Summary

Mitchell said high premiums deter people, especially younger drivers, from insuring their cars and asked that this be considered in the review. The Minister said interested parties’ views would be taken into account.

Gay Mitchell Mr. G. Mitchell Fine Gael

Is the Minister aware that many potential insurers are being asked to pay more for car insurance than they are for rent or repayments on their houses? This disproportionate expense is a disincentive for these people to insure. Would the Minister show his concern including in the review younger drivers who are being discouraged from insuring their cars?

I have indicated in my reply that the views of all interested parties will be taken into consideration when a decision is being taken by the Government in the matter.
