Ryanair set for travel takeover?

Ryanair is in the process of trying to convince the European Commission that a €694 million takeover of Aer Lingus would not lead to a monopoly of the Irish airline market.

The acquisition of Aer Lingus has long been seen as a personal ambition of O’Leary’s, topping his transformation of a one-plane airline in 1985, into one of Europe’s largest with over 300.

Aer Lingus currently operates 45 aircraft.

The deal would see Flybe taking charge of 43 Ryanair routes, and the newly created Flybe Ireland would operate from bases in Dublin and Cork.

Thousands of passengers each day make use of air travel between major airports in Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Galway, Sligo and Waterford, and onwards to the UK and beyond.

Paddy Compare offers travel insurance for all types of travel. Carefully selected products can provide a cost effective way of ensuring that you will be covered for all of your holiday, business and personal travel needs.

Quality Irish business insurance!

Have you ever eaten horse meat? Findus is the latest company involved in the horse meat scandal across Ireland. Findus prepares to take legal action against its supplier Comigel, after it tested 18 beef lasagne products and found 11 contained between 60% and 100% horse meat. Comigel, the French based company is being investigated by the French Ministry of Agriculture.

One would think that horse meat is more expensive than beef, but in some European countries such as Romania recent changes in law reduced prices, giving some suppliers an opportunity to cheat the system. With horse DNA also found in products throughout Sweeden and Spain, this is truly now a Europe-wide problem. The Irish Minister for Agriculture Simon Conveney has promised rigorous testing and a full investigation into how horse meat entered the Irish food chain.

These cases show the importance of purchasing high quality business insurance. At Paddy Compare you can compare prices for shop insurance, liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance and much more. So if you are a business owner and worried about potential claims on your business for whatever reason, get insured and stay safe.

Clean licence equals cheap car insurance!

Convicted Driver Insurance

Have you penalty points on your licence? If so, you could see your car insurance premium increase by as much as 150% this year. The Transport Minister Leo Varadkar signed new regulations which for the first time give motor insurance companies access to the National Driver Vehicle File (NDVF). This forms part of the Minister’s latest efforts to reduce car insurance premiums, improve road safety and reward safe driving.

The NDVF will allow insurance companies to look up a person’s driving history and premiums will be weighted accordingly. Drivers will be penalised for the 18 most serious offences such as speeding, , drink driving, driving without insurance and dangerous driving.

So whether you have a clean licence and require cheap car insurance or have committed offences in the past and are in search of cheap convicted driver insurance, Paddy Compare can help.
