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

Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Stuart Gilhooly:

That is correct. I agree. If I still have to do the work, that means I am not doing work on another file. It is not a question of making big money. The Taxing Master regime we have in this country, and which we will continue to have under the new legislation, ensures one gets paid only for the work one does. If I am working on a file, I am not working on another file. I am happy if my client walks out the door with compensation at an early stage, without having had to pay much for it, and is able to say, "Stuart Gilhooly is a good solicitor, you should go to him if you have an accident". That is what I want.
