Madam, - Insurance charges would drop at a stroke were the protective barriers removed that prevent insurers elsewhere in the EU from selling policies to the Irish market. There is no reason why, say, a Greek or Hungarian insurer willing to sell insurance in this country should be prevented from doing so.

The EU's greatest strength is its common market; it should be given free rein. - Yours, etc.,
