The Motor Insurance Database (MID) was set up by the insurance industry to help combat this crime, and is now helping the UK comply with the 4th EU Motor Insurance Directive, which requires that insurance details of all vehicles in member states, can be easily accessed by a national information centre. In the UK, this role is carried out by the MIIC (Motor Insurers' Information Centre).
In theory every vehicle registered for road use in this country, which is driven in a public place will have to be notified to the MID. For vehicles insured on "Private Car" type policies this is already being done by Insurers as they hold records of registration numbers of vehicles covered on their policies.
Phase 2 of the implementation of the directive is a little more involved as it involves incorporation into the MID of all vehicles on "Unspecified" policies i.e. Blanket fleet policies and Motor Trade Policies
The regulations will require the following:
Registration numbers for vehicles owned by the client and those specified covered on their Motor Trade/Fleet policy.
Courtesy/Loan/Demonstrator vehicle registration numbers owned by the client for the purposes of customer use.
Trade Plates (if applicable)

That is the Motor Insurance Database, type in your reg to check if your car is officially insured. Its not 100% full proof as explained above, but its the same database the PSNI will use should you be pulled over. Worth considering, if your not on it, what the issue may be and discuss with your insurance company.
Below are links to companies that insured for Northern Ireland as of May 2010. If any of them are out of date I will edit them appropriately if you message me!!!
Hope these prove useful to everyone locally! Also, this site lists bike, caravan and other types of insurance for NI.
