Play, Activity & Leisure Ireland
How it works

A collective approach to cover that works.

Individually, an Irish play or activity venue is a small, hard-to-place risk. Together, PALI members are a vetted portfolio that insurers will engage with. Here's how the scheme actually works.

The process

Four stages, each with a clear next step.

01

Join PALI

Scheme access is a membership benefit. Your application confirms you're a genuine, trading Irish activity operator.

Apply for membership
02

Compliance review

We check your safety statement, risk assessments, staffing, equipment inspection records and claims history against the scheme's criteria.

See eligibility criteria
03

Submission to insurers

Your venue is presented as part of a vetted book of business, not as a one-off risk, which is why the market engages at all.

Start a cover submission
04

Quotation & placement

The insurer prices your risk individually. You review terms with the broker and decide, there's no obligation to proceed.

Why collective works

What changes when you're not applying alone.

Scale gets you in the door

Insurers assess a portfolio of pre-vetted venues rather than isolated small risks that aren't worth underwriting individually.

Standards reduce claims

A shared compliance bar means better records, fewer incidents and a claims experience insurers can actually price.

Presentation matters

Submissions are prepared consistently and completely, so your risk isn't declined simply for missing paperwork.

One relationship, many venues

PALI maintains the insurer relationship year-round, so issues get escalated by a body they already know.

Important: PALI is not an insurer or a broker. Membership gives you access to consideration under the scheme. Cover, terms and premium are always decided by the insurer based on your individual venue, activities and claims history.
