Today, the 10 insurance advisers on the Quinlan Insurance team specialize in providing property insurance solutions to apartment block management companies and property owners and their agents.

“Patrick demonstrated the entrepreneurial spirit valued by Brown & Brown in building his successful agency. We are excited about the capabilities that the Quinlan Insurance team brings to our O’Leary Insurances operations and the further growth and enhancement of our presence in Dublin,” commented Barrett Brown, president of Brown & Brown’s Retail segment.

“I truly welcome this agreement. It will benefit our customers and our staff and provides certainty in these uncertain times. This opportunity will allow us to continue growing our business and focusing on our customers in partnership with O’Leary Insurances and Brown & Brown,” said Quinlan.
