Where you live can negatively affect your car insurance premiums. Living in a more deprived, more ethnically diverse location increases your chance of receiving a higher quote, a new survey on the Irish insurance industry has found. A new report jointly produced by CeADAR, Ireland's Centre for AI, and Idiro Analytics used AI methods to analyse almost 40,000 quotes from 10 car insurance companies across 20 locations in Ireland. Researchers found that driving experience and the length of time a driver has had a policy are key factors that are modified by home address when a quote is being calculated. This can lead to extreme cases in which 25-year-olds in areas of south Dublin are receiving lower quotes than 60-year-olds with fewer penalty points living in poorer locations. The report also found that the extent to which your premium increases if you receive penalty points varies depending on your location. For example, drivers in Dublin 17 who receive penalty points can expect an average increase in their premium of 107%, from €792 to €1,642, compared to 68% for drivers in Mallow Co. Cork, from €560 to €941. Meanwhile, a driver's occupation increases their quote even if they don't use their car for business purposes. This is then compounded by where they live. Retail workers are most affected by this, with drivers who work in retail and live in Balbriggan, Co. Dublin, seeing their premiums increase by 35%, from €555 to €747, compared to 5%, from €512 to €540, for a retail worker living in Glenageary, Co. Dublin. The year-long research analysed almost 40,000 quotes from 20 locations around Ireland, including counties Dublin, Cork, Longford, Roscommon, Wicklow and Donegal. Multiple samples of quotes were collected to isolate single changes to accurately measure the effect of each change - for example, a driver's name, home address or gender - on the quoted figure. The research did find significant differences across the 10 insurers whose quotes were analysed. The full findings of the report can be analysed here. Other key findings in the report include: Residents of Longford Town are quoted the highest premiums in the study while residents of Crookstown, Co. Cork, receive the lowest quotes There was no difference in quote between those with traditionally Irish names and those with non-Irish-sounding names. - There was also no significant difference between males and females Drivers who make claims even when they are not at fault receive higher quotes The aim of the study is to understand how insurance companies' algorithms work and the extent to which unconscious bias is embedded in them. The companies could have legitimate reasons for quoting higher prices for some areas - higher rates of car-related crime, for example - but bias or unconscious bias could arise if those areas are also more ethnically diverse and economically deprived. European legislation due to be introduced later this year will see essential service providers like car insurance companies penalised for failing to guard against bias in their AI systems. Companies found to have broken the rules of the EU AI Act will find themselves liable for administrative fines of up to €30m or a sum equal to 6% of their annual turnover. Dr Adrian Byrne, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Career-FIT PLUS Fellow at CeADAR and Lead Researcher AI Ethics Centre, Idiro Analytics, says: "It appears to be a virtuous circle versus a vicious circle in terms of where you live, i.e. living in a more deprived, more ethnically diverse location not only increases the chances of receiving a higher quote but if you add penalty points, claims and zero NCB into the mix then we have seen unequal treatment between different locations. In extreme comparisons, we've seen 25-year-olds in the most well-heeled locations be predicted to receive a lower quote than 60-year-olds living in the poorest locations despite having much more driving experience and policies in their own name. "If car insurance companies a...

The long wait is finally over, for the first time since September 2023, the lads witnessed Longford Town win a competitive game.  However, that surprisingly takes a backseat on this week's pod following a turbulent Bank Holiday weekend which ultimately cost Jon Daly his job at St.Pat's.  Kieran & Gaz outline the moving parts that led to Daly's departure and who may replace him at Richmond Park.  The lads break down who the big winners and losers were over the BH weekend by creating some LOI power rankings while we've got the usual BTS Predictions League and hotline features for you too.  Sponsored by QuinnAv.ie

The fact that winning the League of Ireland Premier Division is less lucrative than a UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying round tie speaks volumes about the financial state of football here. Could government intervention have a positive impact? Perhaps a redistribution of the tax income from betting is a good place to start.And with facilities from a bygone era still a feature throughout the country, are too many clubs attempting to play professional football on the island?On today's Inside Business podcast, Business Editor Ciaran Hancock gets some insight from Chief Executive of Platinum One Group, Fintan Drury and Longford Town manager Stephen Henderson.

This week's show features an extended interview with Longford Town manager Gary Cronin after De Town secured a play-off place with 5 games remaining in the First Division season.

After 6 podcast seasons, an aborted season of TV shows, 3 studios, 3 producers, half a dozen engineers, and a bucketload of flat whites, Dan and Johnny have made it to the big time! Recorded before a live audience in Dublin 2 at Lost Lane on a Sunday evening, Ireland manager Stephen Kenny joins the LOI community for a memorable chat from Tallaght Town to Serie B, from best players to adapting formations to Longford Town and everything in between, even Johnny gets "managed". On the couch alongside the Dundalk legend is another legend of the north east, Chris Shields and between the two of them they field a host of questions from our audience. It's all in association with the Porterhouse Brew, Collar & Cuff, Malone Financial Services and Future Ticketing. It's almost live and it's here now!

We hear from a frustrated Colin Healy after Cork City dropped points at home to Longford Town. We react to the days results in the Premier League and look forward to a huge day in the Cork Premier Senior Football C'ship. 

Recorded just minutes after Shamrock Rovers guaranteed themselves a place in a UEFA Group stage it's fair to say the lads are in good form on this week's pod.  However, there are many serious subjects to be discussed including: Should LOI clubs share their Euro prize money? RTE's approach to the league, the Shels/Pats postponement debacle, Dundalk v Derry brewing as a nice long-term rivalry, Harps v UCD and much more!  This week's guests are Finn Harps chairman, Ian Harkin who discusses the club's latest efforts to secure a new stadium, and in-form Longford Town striker Jordan Adeyemo. 

By all accounts this week's pod takes 'interesting' to a new level. This weeks mistakenly identified guest is John Martin, who didn't play as a number 10 for UCD in either 1999 or 2000, but did play in midfield and was assistant manager with Longford Town. John drops by LOI towers to talk about the business of sport, CEO training, the FAI's strategy plan, his experiences as a player and a coach, and the exploits of his football family. The dynamic duo also have time to discuss what was the best Irish goal in Europe, inflationary croissants, the Dalymount saga, and why we should play Scottish teams in every round! There's the usual Porterhouse Brew competition, the mailbag, look ahead to the weekend and as usual a detailed examination of how Galway United are going to win the cup. Thanks, as always, to Future Ticketing, Collar and Cuff, and Porterhouse Brew and by all accounts, thats it!

There's lots to mull over on this week's show as we ask who is the best manager in the league and if the lads are still sticking with their original title predictions after a strong start from Derry City in the Premier and a slow start by First Division favs Waterford.
