Dolmen Insurance

This week’s Dolmen Insurance Brief looks at some of the key insurance developments affecting Irish businesses and consumers.

The Government’s new Cost of Business Advisory Forum Final Report has brought insurance firmly back into the wider conversation around competitiveness and business costs. With 63 recommendations contained in the report, it also provides a timely reminder for businesses to review whether their current insurance programme still reflects their changing risks and requirements.

We also look at the importance of comparing car insurance renewals on more than price alone. Excesses, breakdown assistance, windscreen cover, courtesy cars and other policy benefits can vary significantly, making like-for-like comparisons essential.
Finally, there is an encouraging development for Ireland’s hospitality sector, with the Government report highlighting that claims involving cafés, hotels and restaurants fell by 52% between 2019 and 2023.

At Dolmen Insurance Brokers, our role is to help clients understand the market, assess their risks and make informed decisions about their cover.

Read this week’s brief and speak to our team if you would like us to review your insurance requirements.
