Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Insurance Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Anthony Brennan:
It is an adversarial system. We are in the business of paying valid claims. All claimants are entitled to representation. We have to assume that claimants are going to be professionally represented. It is an adversarial process and we do not always agree with the people on the other side of the bench. For us to report to the Law Society would be very difficult. These issues are more appropriately addressed to the courts, to which one or two cases have been referred recently.
