Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
1:45 pm
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
The PIAB must be seen to have a fair, objective procedure. Those with good advocates should not receive more than those who do not. This would raise the possibility that those with legal representation would be able to make a better case and convince an assessor. The assessor will make the recommendation based on the medical facts, rather than dialogue or discussion with the claimant.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
