Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Does the Tánaiste intend to introduce legislation to tackle fraudulent and exaggerated claims, which was another recommendation of the MIAB report? The board should be set up as quickly as possible to start analysing court and motor insurance cases. We cannot know how effective it will be until it is up and running. The Law Society and the Bar Council look at the matter in a dreary and depressing manner, but hopefully they will be proven wrong. However, we will not know until it is set up.
