I have questions on the Personal Injuries Assessment Board. The backdrop to my queries is the rising cost of insurance in terms of personal insurance, motor insurance, home insurance and business insurance. As part of the debate an issue has been flagged to me by some members of the legal community. They feel that the Personal Injuries Assessment Board could and should be quicker to deal with claims. I do not know whether I believe such a claim. I ask the Tánaiste to comment on the resourcing of the PIAB. Similar to the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE, has the board requested additional resourcing in terms of manpower or any other resources to deal with its workload?
