I thank the Deputy for raising this very important issue. The programme for Government identifies insurance reform as a key priority. The Law Reform Commission report published today is positive in certain respects. The Government has formed a special Cabinet sub-committee involving a number of Departments to deal with this in a comprehensive and very focused way. The Minister of State, Deputy Troy, is working on reform of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board, PIAB, to strengthen it and its role in personal injury cases.
