Consultation of the Feasability of an Insurance Claim by Claim Register

The Minister for Finance, Pascal Donohoe TD, invites interested parties to make submissions in relation to the feasibility of an insurance claim-by-claim register.

The objective of this consultation is to seek the views of stakeholders, including insurance undertakings and intermediaries, consumers, other state bodies and interest groups, on what the added value of a claim-by-claim register would be in addition to the National Claims Information Database, which is currently being developed by the Department of Finance and the Central Bank of Ireland, and the Insurance Fraud Database, which is currently being developed by the Department of Justice.

In particular, the Minister is keen to try and identify what form a claim-by-claim register could take, as there are a diverse range of views in relation to this matter, as well as a number of considerations such as data protection which would need to be satisfactorily taken account of.

The consultation period will run until 22 June 2018. Any submissions received after this date may not be considered.
