RGDATA has warned that shop owners are deeply frustrated over the slow pace of reform of Duty of Care as insurance premiums continue to rise.<\/p>\n
The group urged Justice officials to publish its Bill or adopt the Draft Bill produced by RGDATA.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a meeting with Minister Hildegard Naughton, RGDATA Director General Tara Buckley said shop owners are still not seeing reductions in insurance premiums despite the many reforms carried out to date.<\/p>\n
‘Same excuses’<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cRGDATA started this campaign back in 2015 and we are still hearing the same excuses. Duty of Care needs to be rebalanced so that it is fairer and more reasonable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a key action that will bring down insurance costs and will deliver the lower premiums that our members so desperately need. RGDATA members are still seeing huge increases in insurance premiums despite all the reforms introduced to date,\u201d Buckley told Minister Naughton.<\/p>\n Her comments were echoed by the Alliance for Insurance Reform as it published the results of an survey that shows that insurance premiums continue to rise despite trends in claims costs and recent reforms.<\/p>\n
