Mr. Stuart Gilhooly:

I am not entirely sure there is necessarily any specific evidence as to what the average whiplash payout is in any country. People are looking at the book of quantum in both England and Ireland and making comparisons. However, I come back to the point of what is whiplash? It could be a two-month neck injury or a lifetime neck and back injury. There is a world of difference between those two concepts. I do not necessarily think one can simply say it is X here and Y there.
