The national claims information database contradicts the claim made by the Minister of State that insurance premiums have reduced by one third since 2016. They have increased by 13%. Is the Minister of State going to undermine the work of the national claims information database by relying on the CSO figures? The CSO figures are now completely irrelevant now that we have a massive amount of data on the database. The claims made by the Minister of State and by the Tánaiste, Leo Varadkar, in the plan are not borne out by the results from a massive sample of more than 2 million policies.
