Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Mr. Neil McDonnell:
If it was a single item, not that I would like the Senator to hold me to it, it would be to introduce rehabilitation rather than this concept of general damages. The reason, and we took just one example out of the book of quantum, is that there is no objective reasoning. It is a real figure from the book of quantum. If one breaks one's little toe on someone's premises, the book of quantum says one is entitled to between €11,300 and €16,100.
