Dara Calleary joined us this morning to talk about the ongoing issue of car insurance premiums which are stretching people to breaking point and causing untold issues for businesses. With the European Union launching an investigation into alleged blocking by Irish insurance companies of cheaper European companies into the Irish market, the Fianna Fail TD told us what he believes the Government need to do to combat the problem. 

In the midst of the conversation the FF Deputy Leader also revealed that he had received an email from a taxi driver who was charged over €10,000 in insurance for his wheelchair accessible taxi. Incredibly that wasn't even the most expensive insurance premium quote that we learned of during the show - Tommy talked to Irene whose 18 year old son was quoted a staggering €16,785.01 to get insurance on his 2004 Ford Fiesta! Listen back now to both interviews.
