This morning/afternoon,
Fianna Fáil General Election HQ, Dublin
Fianna Fail Spokesperson on Finance Michael McGrath and Spokesperson on Business, Enterprise & Innovation Robert Troy outline the Party’s proposals to tackle high insurance costs…
Fianna Fáil has pledged to increase penalties for fraudulent insurance claims and to force fraudulent claimants pay the legal expenses for defendants.
The party began the third week of the general election campaign by outlining its plans to tackle insurance costs.
Finance spokesman Michael McGrath said that Fianna Fáil would immediately call a “crisis summit” if it is in the next government and would attempt to introduce legislation to cap payouts. If this is not successful or possible the party says it would call a referendum to allow payouts to be capped.
Hmm.
*cough*
