The provision of insurance cover and the price at which it is offered is a commercial matter for insurance companies. The Government works closely with the insurance industry in relation to flood insurance for areas protected by OPW flood relief schemes. A Memorandum of Understanding between Insurance Ireland, the representative body for the insurance industry in Ireland, and the OPW ensures that appropriate and relevant information on completed OPW flood relief schemes is provided to insurers to facilitate the availability of flood insurance. Insurance Ireland members have committed to take into account all information provided by the OPW when assessing exposure to flood risk within these areas.
