You're most welcomeGood info, especially as my house insurance is with them and they were good to deal with on a claim a few years ago. Thanks for climbing the burning rope Marc
. The saying "Information is power" comes to mind 
.
travelinsurance.ie : good website, easy to use.
However, i had some questions, rang the phone number (in small text at the bottom of the page) and waited.....
after a time a recording told me to leave my number and they would get back to me. So i did.
Got fed up waiting - rang again. Same thing.
Eventually got a call back the next day.
Meantime i got onto 123.ie - where i had got travel insurance for the past 3 years.
Had to go through the usual "but we dont provide cover for motorcycles" conversation / gave the usual reply of "i'm not looking for motor cover - just travel insurance"
End result is a premium of €75ish for myself and Mrs Og / travelinsurance.ie was €88. little difference in cover but much better to deal with on phone.
Spoke to a real person straightaway.
If it's any use heres the contact details of the very helpful call centre chap, who i presume is on commission.
(gods help him if he is - coz he certainly earnt it dealing with me!
123.ie
Ph: 01 841 8549 ask for Joe King
at least he will be familiar with the "issues" of travelling by Motorcycle by now.
Insurance is only ever tested when you make a claim. I was reassured by the service (so far) from 123. I was not, by the service from travelinsurance.ie - who are by the way a team of ten people
as they say "your mileage may vary"
Good Luck
Just signed up with http://www.travelinsurance.ie/motorcycling/ for the upcoming trip to Europe. Nice painless online process that only took a few minutes. Hopefully I won't need to contact them again.
. Again.
Oh FFS!

] Actually he was much more polite. Has noted that this topic comes up on Motorcycle forums, in particular this one, and should be able to answer any questions without resorting to "i'll ask my supervisor and call you back".
