Posted on: Friday, 22 July 2005, 06:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c21229) has announced the addition of Irish Health Insurance 2005 to their offering.

This report provides a strategic overview of the Irish health insurance market.

VIVAS Health aims to take a bite out of the Irish private medical insurance market. They are only the third open market health insurer in Ireland. Others have tried and failed, but they have bank backing and the existing market has been rattled.
