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

Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. Mark Fielding:

It was nearer to 20. I cannot remember but it was up in the teens. To take the Senator's point, maybe it did not solve anything. All they can do is recommend. It is up to the Oireachtas and the Government to bring that in and follow through on the recommendations. That is one thing. There was a question on the actual awards. The Injuries Board's awards are on record and they are the figures about which I was speaking. The average award in 2009 was €23,000. In 2015, the average was €22,800. The sequence was €23,000, €22,000, €21,000, €22,000, €22,000 and €23,000.
