Anthony Lawlor (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the opportunity Senator Ardagh has given me to highlight a Bill I am introducing in the Seanad next week. The proposed Civil Liability (Capping of General Damages) Bill 2019 will provide for the imposition of a cap on the level of awards which may be made in respect of a claim for general damages arising from personal injuries, for the confirmation by each House of the Oireachtas of draft regulations, for the legislation to be reviewed after its enactment and for related matters. I am delighted that Senators will have an opportunity to support the Bill when it is introduced next week-----
