Returning to former Governor Honohan's letter, he made suggestions to the Government in July 2015. He said that the introduction of judicial guidelines in this regard would usefully complement the policy framework in Ireland as it has proved effective abroad. This concerns the Injuries Board and the book of quantum. Does the Injuries Board support that idea, that there should be judicial guidelines? It was said earlier that the Judiciary must have due regard to the book of quantum, but that does not mean it is guided by it. Does the board support judicial guidelines in this area regarding the book of quantum?
