I agree with the Minister of State on what is being proposed. Section 14 is the important one here. It deals with people in very difficult circumstances who have very serious injuries and need to continue to return to court to get their annual payment determined if it needs to be adjusted due to inflation. We should do anything we can to ease that both for the unfortunate individuals but also for the courts system because it is unnecessary to have that continue. We have no problem supporting this group of amendments.
