Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Peter Boland:

The Senator's insight into it is consistent with ours. Certainly, it looks as if the implications of the Zalewski case have yet to fully work themselves through. We would be very keen to see PIAB or the PIRB as a quasi-judicial body, but if it is the view of the Attorney General and the Government that this type of model has an amount of uncertainty over it, then the pragmatic view to take is that we move ahead with the legislation as it is, with the proposed model, and then look back when the quasi-judicial option has been clarified further.
