We have put the question to the Attorney General. The Attorney General was satisfied it was not a "yes" or "no" answer. In the civil court it is a matter between two individuals, one individual perhaps being an insurance company and the other individual making the claim. The Oireachtas does not intervene there. The issue is about trying to get the Judiciary to adhere to the book of quantum. If one wishes to reduce the book of quantum, the Judiciary can do that.
