Lloyd's of London insurer Beazley P.L.C. is seeking approval from the Central Bank of Ireland to make its Irish reinsurance business a European insurer, The Irish Times reports. If approved, it will allow the reinsurance business to operate throughout the European Union, even if Lloyd's loses access due to the Brexit.
