The pub trade has been dogged by uncertainty since COVID-19 halted the economy in March. Publicans are facing a crisis like never before. Against all this, we believe that our insurers are like bookies refusing to pay out on a winning bet.
For numerous reasons, we believe that we have a strong case that will force the Insurers to pay out to the 1,000s of publicans in Ireland, but to ensure success we need those publicans to join the cause. We need people to act fast – get their policies in before we face into renewal season in December and January.
Regardless of what the Insurance Companies have said in the past, we want every publican in the country to get their policies into us for review.
Once received policies will be reviewed by a leading legal team consisting of solicitors and barristers. Where appropriate claims will be grouped with a view to bringing a test case before the Commercial Court. The aim is to identify those insurance policies where there is, or is believed to be cover for business interruption and where appropriate to bring a legal claim to compel insurers to honour your policy.

We are calling on the 7,400 pubs across Ireland of all shapes and sizes to join us as we take on those in the insurance sector who have let us down. There will be no costs or future penalties for publicans.
We are small pub owners, with no vested interest other than a desire for fairness. We have used our network to secure the best legal team and people passionate about the pub sector working with us. All we need is for publicans to share their insurance policy details on an anonymous basis.
