I appreciate that. Insurance Ireland makes the point about PIAB and suggests the level of cases that are not being accepted has increased as a percentage over the last period. We know from the Central Bank report that PIAB is probably the most effective way of keeping costs down and, indeed, is more effective than the insurance companies settling the claims themselves. How many claims have the insurance companies rejected annually? What does 10% look like?
