Ms Verona Murphy:

They "sang dumb", as the saying goes. There was no answer. I have asked it of every broker and anybody I come in contact with. It is not being answered. It is as if they would just like me to go away and stop asking the question but it has to be answered. We keep repeating ourselves. Everybody here has heard it is due to the book of quantum, the Personal Injuries Assessment Board or the Judiciary. I have no claims history in Ireland. When I have had issues in Europe, they are not dealt with by the courts in Ireland, by the PIAB or by solicitors. They have to have an answer to the question of how they assess the risk of a haulier who spends 90% of the time outside the country, which, to me, would mean they are accessing data from the Single Market and basing it on another EU member model.

I have asked it and repeated it. As I said, our most substantial members are now inquiring as to why it is not being asked.
