Transparency about where money goes can help get a grip on insurance costs
The open consultation process that informed this plan is a model for how policy reform should be approached, enriched by diverse perspectives, with over 70 submissions focused on outcomes that benefit consumers, businesses, and the wider economy. The plan sets out a structured schedule of actions and is built around six core themes, which reflect a comprehensive approach to reform. The emphasis on legal reform, innovation, and affordability aligns well with the challenges facing the sector. It is also encouraging to see 10 priority actions, which target the most pressing issues. The plan's emphasis on enhancing the efficiency, authority, and impact of the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB) is welcomed. Action 3 is a priority reform aimed at reducing litigation, lowering costs, and improving the speed of claims resolution. Preventing claimants from modifying their claims post IRB and introducing legal costs for its claims are pragmatic steps that will encourage early resolution and discourage unnecessary litigation and delays. This will promote consistency in how injuries are assessed as currently, the IRB and the court are effectively assessing different cases due to the introduction of additional reports for those claims going into court. This has prevented the IRB from reaching its full potential. Another positive step is the commitment to report on accepted IRB assessments, rather than just those issued, half of which are typically rejected. This will enhance transparency and support future improvements. Action 4 proposes benchmarking Irish injury awards against those in the UK and other European countries. This raises questions, as similar analysis was believed to have informed the 2021 Personal Injuries Guidelines. Insurers are now compiling data to support this work. While the focus is currently on the UK, it's vital that the scope includes European jurisdictions with less prevalent compensation cultures. These systems offer valuable insights into achieving fair compensation while maintaining market sustainability. It's been over 20 years since the Troika identified Ireland's high legal costs as a barrier to competitiveness. Yet legal fees remain a major driver of insurance premiums. The development of legal cost scales under Action 6 is long overdue, having first been proposed in the 2020 Action Plan. Although scoping was completed in June 2022, further progress was deferred pending sufficient data on the impact of the Judicial Council's Personal Injuries Guidelines, likely in the hope that reduced awards and litigation would lessen the need for further reform. However, legal costs remain a persistent issue. According to the 2024 National Claims Information Database (NCID) mid-year report, motor injury claims under €100,000 that settled through litigation saw legal costs rise on average to €18,859, compared to just €836 through the IRB, some 22 times higher. These costs now represent 94pc of the average compensation award and 48pc of the total claim spend in the litigation channel. While average compensation has fallen by 17pc, the total cost per claim has only decreased by 1.6pc, meaning the benefit of lower awards has been largely offset by rising legal fees. Similarly, tougher penalties and enhanced intelligence sharing on fraud in Action 12 would help protect honest policyholders and restore trust in the system. Further investment in the Garda Fraud Bureau will be key to ensuring the success of this initiative. Action 21 proposes amendments to the Judicial Council Act that could extend the review period for the guidelines from three to seven years. The current review cycle is too short to allow reforms to take root, contributing to instability and unpredictability, which are precisely the issues the guidelines are meant to address. These changes, along with mandated consultation with the IRB in the review process and clearer Oireachtas oversight, will help ensure that the guidelines remain relevant and balanced. While proposals such as the introduction of pre-action protocols and case management in personal injury claims have not been prioritised in either the 2020 or 2025 reform plans, they have the potential to deliver significant impact. Pre-action protocols encourage early resolution of claims and reduce the need for litigation. Where court action is necessary, structured case management would ensure claims are handled efficiently. Together, these measures could help reduce legal costs, speed up outcomes, and ease the burden on all parties involved. Learn more Insurance reform is not a one-time fix. It's an ongoing process that requires persistence, adaptability, and more importantly, collaboration between government, industry, legal professionals, and consumers. The new Action Plan offers a strong foundation. It reflects a shared commitment to change and a recognition that lasting progress only happens when insurers, policymakers, legal professionals, and consumers work together.

Brown Thomas co-founder Hilary Weston dies aged 83
The CEO of Brown Thomas Arnotts has paid tribute to the luxury department store's co-founder, Hilary Weston, in the wake of her death. Mrs Weston, who also helped build Penneys, died at the age of 83, her family has confirmed. The Irish-Canadian businesswoman, who was also the former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, passed away in England, where she had been living in recent years. Donald McDonald, CEO of Brown Thomas Arnotts, described her as a remarkable figure in Irish business, culture, and philanthropy. He said: 'Everyone at Brown Thomas Arnotts is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Hilary Weston — a truly remarkable person. 'Along with her husband Galen, her vision and enduring support for Irish culture and Irish enterprise laid the foundations for the success we enjoy today. 'On behalf of all of us at Brown Thomas Arnotts, I offer our heartfelt condolences to the Weston family at this time. 'Her memory and impact will not be forgotten.' Mrs Weston was born in Dún Laoghaire in 1942 as the eldest of five children and married Irish-Canadian billionaire Galen Weston in 1966. She was prominent in the early days of Penneys and later ran Brown Thomas after her husband bought the retailer. Mrs Weston was later a vice-chair of the Weston's Canadian luxury retail chain, Holt Renfrew. Confirming her death, her family said: 'A beloved wife, proud mother, cherished sister, adoring grandmother and loyal friend, Hilary's life was shaped by her quiet strength, enduring generosity, and a deep commitment to helping others. "Over their loving 55-year marriage, Hilary and the late W. Galen Weston supported each other in family, business and community life, with a mutual devotion to public service.

Tánaiste and the Foreign Affairs Minister, Simon Harris, paid tribute to the late businesswoman, describing her as a 'very proud Irish-Canadian, who served both Ireland and Canada with distinction and generosity'. In a statement he said: 'I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Hilary Weston.' 'In addition to her successful businesses and public service in Canada, through her leadership of the Ireland Funds Canada, she made a lasting contribution to Irish-Canadian relations. 'I extend sincere condolences to her children, Alannah and Galen, and the entire Weston family,' Mr Harris added. In early days of Penneys, Ms Weston designed dresses which she had made up by local makers to put in the window for sale for young women to buy for Saturday night dances. She worked with her friend, Cecily Macmenamin, to support Irish designers, including Sybil Connolly, Paul Costelloe, Philip Treacy and Louise Kennedy. She also brought International designers to Ireland, such as Armani, Louis Vuitton, Hermes. She is survived by her two children, Allanah Weston and Galen Weston Jr, and predeceased by her husband, Galen Weston, who died in 2021 following a long illness.

'My electricity bill is like a heart attack - the government's done nothing'
I don't know about you but I feel I am going to have a heart attack every time my electricity bill comes through the door. I am with the ESB for my sins - I just couldn't be bothered moving to another supplier - and am sick and tired of being ripped off every two months. My electricity bill has doubled in the last two years and no matter how many lights we stitch off or dishes we hand wash instead of using the dishwasher, we can't seem to get it down. But if you think things are bad for us, what about small businesses? If you speak to the owners of these little shops, cafes, and small manufacturers all over the country, they will tell you that the soaring energy costs are the biggest single threat to their survival. One man told me how his electricity costs effectively doubled from €10,000 to €20,000 a month and he had no idea how he was going to survive. It is the same story the length and breadth of this land and the Government is all talk and no action, and is doing absolutely nothing about it. Minister and after Minister blame the war in Ukraine for the soaring cost of gas and this in turn increases our electricity costs. But what these useless politicians forget is that we the people own the ESB and the Minister responsible and the Government has the power to interfere and force ESB management to cut prices if they so wish. They could start by cutting all VAT on electricity indefinitely and this would make a huge difference. The faceless mandarins in the Department of Finance would try to stop it but should be slapped down. The country is awash with money and can well afford it. The anger and outrage over electricity prices have also now spread to the multi-nationals and big business in Ireland. Yesterday it was revealed that Intel, which employs over 5,000 people in this country, met with the Taoiseach Micheal Martin and a number of ministers warning about increasing energy costs. The Government promised to sort it out but so far has done nothing. The alarm bells should be ringing because why would these companies stay here if they can't afford to run their businesses in Ireland because of runaway, uncontrollable costs. The fact is that Ireland has the highest electricity prices in the whole of Europe. Yet the irony is you would expect this if the main market supplier was a privately owned utility company like they have in the UK. However we are talking about the ESB here which 100pc owned by you and me the Irish taxpayer, so something can be done to stop the constant rip up but it is not happening. And then to make things worse the Government decides to let the ESB increase prices even further to pay for future capital investment to improve the electricity grid down the road. The energy regulator agreed to it when they know that the people and employers are pinned to their collar trying to pay their bloody bill every month or two. It came as no surprise to me or anyone else except the Government perhaps that a record 300,000 people are now in arrears on their electricity and gas bills. Well what the hell does the Government expect with the prices we are being asked to pay. The figures were obtained by the Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan and the party is doing excellent work highlighting this issue. The Government rather than forcing the ESB to slash prices dealt with the problem in the run up to the General Election last year by giving families energy credits to offset the rising electricity costs. It gave ordinary people some relief but now they are refusing to do it again in the run up to this year's budget. Both Micheal Martin and Paschal Donohue are using Trump's trade tariffs as a pathetic excuse not to do it. Yet the same politicians have no problem spending up to one billion quid cutting the VAT rate in the hospitality sector. Would it not be better spending this cash helping working class people who really need it? The ESB say they don't cut people off who can't pay their bills - but trust me in the end they do. That little electricity bill coming through the door is now the biggest worry for most people every night. It's time to bloody do something and cut the rates once and for all.
