Give drivers a fair deal, McCreevy tells insurers

FINANCE MINISTER Charlie McCreevy yesterday warned the insurance industry to cut the cost of car cover and give motorists a fairer deal.

In a speech to Irish Insurance Federation (IIF) members, Mr McCreevy said he wanted to see a significant fall in premiums over the next couple of years.

Mr McCreevy said he would not accept claims by the industry that the Irish market was uncompetitive.
