The standard cover is €2,600,000 but we can have this extended up to €10,000,000 if required.

Employers Liability Insurance Covers your legal liability for injury to Employees or Volunteers whilst engaged by you, in relation to the activities agreed to be covered by the insurer. In Ireland Employers Liability Insurance is not required by law, however it is advised and is common practice to protect both you and your employees.

This can sometimes be known as Abandonment Insurance. This covers you in the event of irrecoverable expenses resulting from cancellation, abandonment, curtailment, or postponement due to circumstances beyond your control.

No. Public Liability cover won’t cover you for any damage to property you own. To cover your own property, including equipment, you will also need Property Insurance.
This covers the loss or damage to property at the insured event(s) and whilst in transit to and from the event. This can cover your own property and property you are legally responsible for such as hired property and venue property.

We can get you a quote and provide you with cover anywhere up until 72 hours of the event in question.

The most common cause for a claim arises from accidents that occur at the event. We also receive claims regarding damage to property or rented equipment but also we get cancellation event claims for an event that has to be cancelled due to some circumstances outside the organizers control

In general cancellation policies do not provide cover for any losses arising from any communicable (or ‘notifiable’) disease which leads to quarantines being imposed, restrictions in the movement of people or animals or travel advisory or warnings being issued by any national or international body or agency.

For Public Liability it’s often a community event organizer , a fund raising organizer, an organization that is arranging a one-off event or a professional event organizer that needs cover for their clients.

For Cancellation Covers it’s often concert promoters and event organizers , band managers, owners of sporting venues or venue owners like concert or exhibition centres.  

The list is not exhaustive as if you stand to be held liable for an injury at the event you organize or stand to lose by the event not being able to take place then you will need one of the covers offered in the Event insurance suite.  

This is a cover designed to help event organizers offer promotions and prizes that add a bit of fun and extra excitement to the event they are hosting . This is relevant where a special prize is put up at a charity golf outing, for example for a hole-in-one, or at a casino night on a roll-a-dice – it could even be a crossbar challenges or back to front basketball challenge . We are happy to work with you to create a promotion which fits your budget.
