Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There is lots of different legislation happening in this area. The Judicial Council Act 2019 has been enacted. The Personal Injuries Commission will report, hopefully, sooner rather than later. I will not prejudge the outcome of that, but it is obviously under way. There is some other legislation in train. I refer to Private Members' legislation, originally put through by the former Deputy, Mr. Billy Kelleher, and then also by Deputy Michael McGrath. Legislation by Senator Ó Céidigh is being progressed and supported by Government as well. I welcome that the Law Reform Commission issued a paper today indicating that it may be constitutional for the Oireachtas to cap personal injury awards. We should consider doing that.
