Hang on. The guidelines came into effect in April of last year, so that is one year ago. We can see from the CSO figures from that point onwards, claims reduced by about 10% but there is no way of knowing. We need this legislation to see if this reduction was the result of less traffic on the roads during Covid or the result of the awards. We have not seen the level of reductions that the CEO of Zurich Ireland warned committee members that we would need to ask serious questions about if reductions did not happen.
