Insurance Ireland is the representative organisation for insurance in Ireland. As well as serving Irish businesses and consumers, Ireland is also a thriving global hub for insurance, reinsurance and InsurTech.

Irish insurers are the number one providers of cross-border services in the European Union. Ireland is the fourth-largest insurance market and one of the largest reinsurance markets in the European Union. With over 120 members, Insurance Ireland’s membership represents a majority of the companies operating in the Irish market.

In Ireland, the insurance sector employs 35,000 people and contributes more than €2.7 billion to the Irish Exchequer each year. As of the end of 2022, insurance and reinsurance companies based in Ireland held total liabilities of €438 billion.

Our members are progressive, innovative and inclusive, providing competitive and sustainable products and services to customers and businesses across the Life and Pensions, General, Health and Reinsurance sectors, both in Ireland and around the world.

Insurance Ireland’s role is to advocate on behalf of our members within Ireland, in Europe and internationally. We engage with the policymakers, regulators, other statutory bodies and media by emphasising the positive role that insurance plays in business and for consumers, and we highlight the issues of concern for our members and their customers.
