Older people face significant difficulties when it comes to the cost and availability of insurance, whether it is health, travel or motor insurance. The population aged 65 and over in both Northern Ireland (NI) and the Republic of Ireland (ROI) pay higher premiums, and find it more difficult
than other age groups to access insurance products.
This article, part of CARDI’s monthly “Focus on” series, delves behind the headlines to examine the current situation of insurance for older people across the island of Ireland, and looks at current legislation in NI and ROI which protects against age discrimination.
