Mr. Padraig Cribben:

We have a similar situation with the old Employment Appeals Tribunal. We are not suggesting that one cannot have legal representation at the Injuries Board but that, if one has, it is one's decision and also one's cost. If one goes into the Employment Appeals Tribunal, one does not get costs there. We are certainly not suggesting one cannot have a lawyer, barrister or senior counsel, if one so wishes, but that one must pay the cost, including out of one's award, if one gets one.
