Very happy customer!
Really good, really helpful, really efficient and knowledgeable. Great communication and nothing was a problem to Alan.
Great experience with health insurance policy
Working with Alan at MIG in Cork was super easy and informative. Helping me understand the options among many, many choices and quickly giving me a quote for a policy that fit my needs. It was a great experience and Alan continues to provide support as needed. We will be using MIG again.

Amazing knowldege, support and professionalism
We needed to have something done and sorted very quickly. It was quite complicated, and we realised we were asking a lot of the company time wise. I was dealing with Norma Daly from the Skibbereen branch and she was so supportive, knowledgeable, helpful and accomodating, and as a result we got everything organised and in place so quickly as a result.
Multiple options, clear communication, good service
The beauty of working with a broker is to have more than one choice.
MIG presented multiple options for health policies, then clearly, and precisely, helped delineate the difference, answering my questions patiently and in plain English, no insurance jargon.
best service
Very good service. Big thank you to Denise McSweeney in Rathmore office for her kindness and help with everything.
Holiday home insurance renewal
Renewed house insurance on my mother’s property that is now a de facto family holiday home. Deirdre was extremely efficient and courteous to deal with and quickly resolved a problem that could otherwise have become significant.
I greatly appreciated Deirdre’s professionalism and understanding of her product / customer needs. I would gladly recommend McCarthy Insurance for professional service and value.
Why I Chose to Stay with McCarthy Insurance Group
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Alan for some time now, both for our company healthcare scheme and, more recently, my family's healthcare needs. Throughout this period, Alan has consistently demonstrated professionalism, punctuality, and a genuine commitment to delivering excellent service.
Alan's approach is refreshing, he follows through on his promises, takes the time to thoroughly research queries, and is not deterred by unforeseen challenges. His manner is professional, his advice is clear and to the point, and importantly, he never resorts to the hard-sell tactics that some of their competitors use.
To be completely transparent, I initially intended to discontinue working with McCarthy Insurance Group simply because I did not see the need to use a broker instead of going direct. However, after asking Alan to explain why we should continue with his firm, he not only reassured me but genuinely changed my perspective. Alan listens carefully, addresses concerns sincerely, and when it is within his power, resolved issues efficiently, often exceeding expectations.
In short, Alan simply delivers. It is a genuine pleasure to know that should any challenges arise, he is there to help and stand by the client. His support and professionalism reflect extremely well on McCarthy Insurance Group. Well done and keep it up.
Professional Attentive and Responsive
As a family we go back to Gerry Lucey Insurances before it became part of MIG because of his ultimate commitment to making you feel you were the only customer he had. Over the years we have had excellent service on Car and Home Insurance from MIG staff since Gerry's retirement. We are now introducing our next generation for Insurance cover, Mortgage Assignments etc etc. I told Rachel Dennehy who has been handling our requirements of late that she epitomizes everything Gerry had to offer in terms of Professionalism, Attention to detail and responding diligently as promised
Good communication
Good communication, fast response and resolution, pleasure to deal with Denise McSweeney @ MIG Rathmore office.
