Business alliance forms against ‘crippling’ insurance costs

A new organisation which includes the Irish Hotels Federation and the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland has demanded an end to what it calls “crippling insurance premiums”.

The Alliance for Insurance Reform comprises 18 civic and business organisations, representing 35,000 members and more than 620,000 employees and 41,300 volunteers.

It claimed it had formed to address the issue of services and jobs being hit by excessive insurance costs.
