Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

As I stated on Second Stage, the impression being created is that the assessment board is a creation of the insurance industry and that its function is basically to carry out insurance assessments under a different guise with State imprimatur. The fact the legislation is being dealt with by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment lends to this impression and it is important that it be corrected. One way of doing this would be to ensure the legal bodies are represented on the board. I commend my amendment and the Fine Gael Party amendment to the House.
