MIJAG Press Release MIJAG Welcomes the Fine Gael Policy Document on Road Safety MIJAG, the Motor Insurance Justice Action Group welcomes the recent publication by Fine Gael of its Policy Document titled "Its time to stop Ireland's Road Carnage". Campaign Organiser Mick Murphy said, "We welcome the document which has some good ideas to improve road safety and driver training for all drivers. More significantly this document will increase the political pressure on the Government to tackle this issue in a more serious way". "Unfortunately, one page (Page 8) of the document contains the very significant facts that young drivers are on average less than twice (97%) the average risk but often pay between £3000 and £4000 for insurance. Theses premiums are up to eight times the average yet Fine Gael fails to recommend any action to end this Rip-Off" Mr Murphy added. "MIJAG now calls on Fine Gael to organise a full Dáil Debate on the issue of young drivers car insurance when the Dáil resumes in October" Mr Murphy said.
