Episode Synopsis

Clare people are being reminded that only accidental storm-related incidents could result in a successful insurance claim. It comes after 5,500 properties in Clare lost power over the weekend as strong winds associated with Storm Amy battered the county. A new survey has found that just 26% of people say they would secure their garden furniture and check their windows and doors ahead of a storm. Figures from Insurance Ireland meanwhile show January's Storm Éorwyn was Ireland's most expensive storm-related insurance event in history with claims exceeding €301 million. Head of Claims at Campion Insurance Stephen McKenna says claims can't be made for avoidable incidents.
