Dr. Cyril Roux:

We are part of the working group chaired by the Minister of State, Deputy Eoghan Murphy. We are not saying anything different from what we are saying to the committee. It is a matter of judicial discretion so the judges can decide to follow or vary from the book of quantum. I am told there are guidelines for the Judiciary in the UK, so judges stick to a narrow band. Perhaps that is appropriate for Ireland or perhaps it is not. I cannot tell. However, it brings that clarity, certainty and stability to the claims environment.
