11 April 2002: Young drivers from all over the Dublin Region will converge on the Green Isle Hotel on the Naas Road this Thursday evening at 8pm to meet representatives of political parties about the cost of motor insurance.

"The main question we want an answer to is what are the politicians planning to do about huge numbers of drivers with clean driving records paying 3-5,000 euros for motor insurance," says Mick Murphy, national organiser of MIJAG, the Motor Insurance Justice Action Group.

MIJAG has written to all the political parties asking for spokespersons to attend and respond to yung drivers concerns on this issue.

The organisation is running its own independent candidate, David Green, in the May general election.

"We strongly believe that anyone with a clean driving record should not have to pay over 1,000 euros for motor insurance, and we believe the Government have the responsibility to bring the cost of insurance in this country in line with rates charged in other countries," Mr Murphy said.
