Cafes ask for insurer crisis bailout: Four insurance providers pulling out of Irish hospitality market

Restaurants and cafes have asked for a bailout from the Government similar to the one given to creches after it emerged that four of the main insurance providers are pulling out of the Irish hospitality market.

The Restaurant Association of Ireland (RAI) has warned that hundreds of small restaurants and cafes will have to shop around for new cover or be forced to close their doors from next month.
