McCarthy Insurance Group’s Newcastle West branch on Bridge Street is celebrating a year since its refurbishment, with the team continuing to grow and its range of products expanding to meet local demand.

Branch Manager Sarah Nolan said:

“The local community has played a vital role in the growth of our business and remains central to the company’s continued success.

“Looking ahead, we will continue to further develop our presence in the community by investing in our team, the services we offer, and competitive pricing.”

In today’s climate, Sarah noted that customers are increasingly conscious of spending:

“Competitive pricing has become just as important as policy benefits, and at McCarthy Insurance Group we want to ensure that customers do not have to compromise on cover to stay within budget.”

The branch provides a full range of personal and commercial insurance products to customers across the county, including car and home insurance, farm insurance, health insurance, financial planning, and business insurance for companies of all sizes.

McCarthy Insurance Group has been serving communities across Ireland for more than 70 years, and the Newcastle West branch reflects that same long‑standing commitment: a locally based, customer‑focused team dedicated to finding the right cover for every client.

Among the additions to the branch’s offering in the last year is a car insurance product tailored for young and first‑time drivers. With affordable cover for learner and newly qualified drivers remaining difficult to secure, this product is designed to address a clear gap in the market.

A telematics device – fitted at no additional cost – records driving behaviour, and users can monitor their performance through an online portal.

For example, John, a 17 year-old from County Limerick, drives a 2020 Renault Clio 1.0L and holds a full Irish Licence. He received a fully Comprehensive quote of €909 through McCarthy Insurance Group.

While individual circumstances vary and terms and conditions apply, this illustrates what is currently achievable for young drivers.

McCarthy Insurance Group’s Newcastle West team can be found at Bridge Street, Newcastle West, or online at www.mig.ie.

Quote valid to 28th of April 2026. Quotes vary based on individual circumstances. Sample quote based on Telematics installation. Terms and conditions apply. Charles McCarthy Insurances Ltd. trading as McCarthy Insurance Group is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.
