That takes me to the next point. We are just dealing with PIAB at the minute and I did not suggest the insurance companies are clogging up the courts. I am trying to find out, for the cases they have rejected, whether it has been the case that they have been at the higher end.

Have they resulted in significant legal fees? For cases above €100,000 the legal fees are significantly more. Yet, Insurance Ireland has not polled any of its members or collected any data on that. Is that what Mr. Hassett is telling me?
