Ill wind blows for Irish leisure industry amidst insurance cover uncertainty

There is “no single policy or legislative initiative” that the Government can take to make insurance providers cover Irish leisure, tourism and adventure operators, according to the minister for state with responsibility for financial services and insurance.

A spokesperson for Minister of State Michael D’Arcy said the Government will continue to “improve the environment” within which insurers operate but said that, ultimately, it is constrained by constitutional reasons in terms of what it can do to resolve the issues in the sector.
