Questions over why health insurers are raising prices repeatedly throughout the year
The average cost of health insurance has risen by 8% since the start of this year alone.
All of Ireland's main health insurance companies increased their prices at least twice this year, while Irish Life Health has raised its prices four times in twelve months
Companies blame the increases on a rise in claims, but new figures from the health insurance watchdog show that this rise is now slowing sharply.
Labour Party TD Marie Sherlock said "good explanations" are not being offered for the increase in premium prices.
