The Minister for Finance advised the Dáil at the end of April that the MIBI had indicated its intention to accept all third-party claims connected with Setanta Insurance, but Mr. Casey is telling the committee something different today, in that the MIBI is taking legal advice and is not accepting claims. This matter was brought to my attention by a solicitor acting on behalf of a claimant. The solicitor had contacted the bureau and was told the claim had nothing to do with it because it was not accepting claims.
