Government pressured to tackle rising motor insurance

The Government is under pressure to establish an independent task force to tackle spiraling motor-insurance premiums.

Speaking in the Dáil, Fianna Fáil finance spokesman Michael McGrath said the Government response was “not satisfactory. It is inadequate and it is woefully inept” and he called for immediate action: “The bottom line is that motorists have had enough of these unacceptable and unsustainable premium hikes.”
