The publication in a newspaper last Sunday of what was termed an internal and private memo from within an insurance company greatly disturbs many people who have made personal injury claims following accidents. It is disturbing that the insurance company has established what it terms a "Garda panel" of retired and, in some alleged cases, serving, members of the Garda who access, source and relay information on accidents through the Garda computer system. This is a gross abuse of the system in this country.
