Ms Eimear McGuinness:

The amount paid out for many of these claims is drastic. That man had a sore toe. A solicitor was not even involved in that case. The insurance company approached him and that came into us. Approximately €13,000 was paid out. I do not know who got that money or how much of it the man got. That is a major issue.

To fix it we need to consider what is being paid out because we are probably not going to stop people coming into marts and being hit by gates or getting a kick from their own cattle. They have probably recovered within a week but I do not know what the claim is for. That should be addressed. The nature and extent of the injuries should be considered and what they get for those.
