Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

On Senator Leyden's point, it may well be that some people will slip through the net, although I do not know what point he was making about employers. However, the procedures that will be in place, the PIAB, the change in culture, the book of quantum and so on will make a huge difference. I do not expect the increase in volume suggested by some on the basis that as this is a paper-based system, it will be much easier to obtain a couple of thousand euro. I do not believe that will be the case; anyone who took that view would be very foolish indeed in view of the new regime that will be in place next year.
