About Insurance Ireland
As the Voice of Insurance actively promoting the highest standards, Insurance Ireland represents the domestic insurance and International life insurance market. This business generates €25bn in premium income (domestic and overseas), employs 27,000 people, with thousands more in ancillary services and contributes over €1.6bn in tax to the Irish exchequer.
Insurance makes a major contribution to Ireland’s economic growth and development and is a cornerstone of modern life. One of the most important aspects of insurance is to pay claims to customers at times when they need it most. Each year the insurance industry pays out more than €5.4bn in claims to Irish customers.
As the voice of the industry, Insurance Ireland’s key functions include:
•Representing its members’ interests to Government, state agencies, regulatory bodies, public representatives, other national interest groups, the media and the general public.
•Representing the position of members at a European level, particularly via Insurance Europe, the European Association for national insurance company representative bodies, and at a global level via the Global Federation of Insurance Associations (GFIA).
•Keeping members abreast of relevant policy and regulatory developments and providing a forum for member debates on such issues.
•Providing information to Government, the wider policymaking community and the public about insurance.
