The Council is currently co-chaired by Mr Michael Leahy, Prudential International Assurance plc., and Mr Patrick O’Brien Greenlight Reinsurance Ireland DAC.
The role of the International (Re)Insurance Council is to represent the interests of Insurance Ireland’s international, (re)insurance and captive members. The Council aims to develop and execute a successful engagement plan to promote Ireland in the best possible way as a base for (re)insurance companies, helping to grow and promote Ireland’s international financial sector. The Council will work collaboratively with the CBI and Government and other representative bodies on an appropriate operating framework for international (re)insurance in Ireland, which will result in a new era of retention and growth. The Council also focuses on furthering other relevant initiatives and responding to applicable consultations from stakeholders domestically and globally though our sister organisations Insurance Europe and the Global Federation of Insurance Associations (GFIA).
Insurance Ireland will leverage its membership of Insurance Europe to influence policy at European level to deliver the right results for Ireland Inc. and the (re)insurance industry as well as being the voice of insurance under the Ireland For Finance 2025 government initiative. The International (Re)Insurance Council will also input into Insurance Ireland’s policy in areas common to all insurance companies.
