The chief executive of Ireland’s Road Safety Authority (RSA) is making the switch to a trade body. It’s been announced that Moyagh Murdock (pictured) will assume the CEO role at Insurance Ireland at the end of March upon her departure from the state agency.
“I am delighted to be appointed as chief executive of Insurance Ireland,” commented the former chief operating officer of Bus Eireann.
“This is a challenging time for consumers and insurance providers and I look forward to engaging with stakeholders and to working collaboratively with them to ensure we implement changes which will provide a stable and well underpinned sector which delivers effectively for all of its customers.”
Ann Kelleher, president of Insurance Ireland, believes Murdock will bring a fresh perspective to the post with a particular focus on the Irish consumer.
“Moyagh was selected following a very competitive selection process and demonstrated an enthusiasm and vision for the sector focused on its various stakeholders,” noted the trade body president.
Meanwhile RSA chair Liz O’Donnell had nothing but nice words for the exiting chief executive, who has served in her current capacity since 2014.
In a statement, O’Donnell said: “Moyagh has certainly enhanced the reputation of the RSA both in Ireland and internationally, and the board and I are confident that she leaves the RSA pointed on a strong positive trajectory for further improvements in road safety.
“The board and I wish Moyagh all the very best as she takes up her new position with Insurance Ireland.”
