KPMG in Ireland

Dr Val Cummins of Simply Blu outlining what is vital to our future and the Energy Transition.

Jean Rea, KPMG was joined by Lorraine McCann, Sustainability Reporting Lead at KPMG Ireland, to unpack the evolving landscape of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The discussion outlines the current status of the CSRD, the Omnibus proposal, and how this will impact on organisations. Insights on the key learnings from the first round of CSRD reporters, as well as the “no regret” actions that can be taken now, should be of particular interest to our listeners.

KPMG's Jean Rea sits down with Michael Leahy, President of Insurance Ireland, for a wide-ranging discussion on some of the most important developments affecting the sector today. Their conversation explores topics including: • The introduction of the new Personal Investment Account (PIA) and its potential impact on long-term savings and investment behaviour • The industry's implementation of the Right to be Forgotten framework for cancer survivors • Progress on flood insurance and improving protection for communities at risk • Ireland's strong role in the international and speciality insurance market

Ireland already has a recovery planning regime in place, but with IRRD applying from January 2027 what does that mean for Irish regulated insurers? In our latest Inside Insurance video, Jean Rea discusses with Brendan McCarthy and Matthew Green the potential impact of a more focussed harmonised regime with fewer market participants, the linkage with resolution planning, and the lessons that can be drawn from the more mature BRRD regime.

In the latest episode of Inside Insurance, Jean Rea is joined by David Fitzgerald from the Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) to where they discuss developments in the Irish motor insurance landscape including Continuous Vehicle Coverage (CVC) and the introduction of the Irish Motor Insurance Database (IMID).  David shares insights into how these initiatives are helping to identify uninsured vehicles, strengthen enforcement capabilities and improve the accuracy and accessibility of motor insurance information.
