I understand the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, has recently published the heads of Bill to provide for the introduction of a new model of periodic payment orders. This new model of payment orders will allow the courts to decide that catastrophically injured people can receive the cost of future care in the form of annual payments instead of a lump sum award. When can we expect the civil liabilities (amendment) Bill to be brought before the House?
