Motorists are being urged to update their driver numbers on their car insurance policies. The appeal from AA Ireland comes, as a legal requirement is set to take effect in just a few weeks' time. Many drivers remain unaware that failure to provide their driver number in advance of their renewal date by the 31st of March will mean they cannot renew their car insurance. Despite the importance of this change, there has been little coverage so far. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by branch manager of Munstergroup Insurance, Michael Henchy.

Figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry this week showed that electric car sales are in reverse, falling by 14 per cent year on year in March. This compared with double digit increases in the sales of petrol and hybrid car. Even diesel sales rose by 9 per cent. Meanwhile a survey by AA Ireland found that half of the 1000 respondents would not opt to buy an electric car. Why the hesitance to go electric? And what can be done to incentivise people to buy EVs? Irish Times motoring editor Michael McAleer joins host Ciarán Hancock in studio to explain why EV sales are going in the wrong direction. Also on this week's episode of Inside Business, Irish Times economics correspondent Eoin Burke-Kennedy discusses the drop in Irish inflation for March, where it fell below 2 per cent for the first time in three years. Could this persuade the European Central Bank to begin cutting interest rates from June? And what might it mean for mortgage rates? Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast.
