I have heard Insurance Ireland banging on about this for quite a while and it has a fantastic propaganda machine and, indeed, captured many of the political parties in here and much of the media in terms of its spin. There is a section of the Act that allows for legal costs not to be paid out and, at this point, Insurance Ireland does not know if any of the 100-plus companies that make up Insurance Ireland actually press this in any of the court cases it is dealing with, yet it continues to raise the issue of legal costs as a major issue in terms of the cost of claims overall.
