Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. Conor Faughnan:

The lead author of the book of quantum is the Injuries Board, but that is not to say it is its exclusive responsibility.

The Injuries Board, by the way, is the good guy in this regard, as it is trying to do things in a sensible manner. However, the tool in the hands of the Injuries Board, the book of quantum, simply is not detailed enough. While the Injuries Board is tasked with authoring it, that does not mean the board is its sole owner. Ultimately, it may be the responsibility of the Minister for Finance. It certainly is within the gift of the Oireachtas.
