Rising arrests for no car insurance in Naas likely linked to surge in costs

Six people have been arrested for no insurance in the Naas Garda District over the past few days.

According to  a Garda spokesperson in Naas, a rise in arrests for no insurance could be linked to spiralling costs.

Kildare District Judge Desmond Zaidan, earlier this year, accused insurance companies of discriminating against young people.

The insurance industry has apportioned blame for the surge in prices on the number of customer claims.

Insurance Ireland pointed to increases in the level of awards and frequency of compensation secured through the courts last year.
