Of the seventeen bodies under the aegis of my Department, I am informed that fourteen have had no claims and have made no payments in respect of personal injury claims in the period requested. It was not possible for two bodies to respond to this information request in the time available and therefore I will make arrangements to provide a response in line with Standing Orders.
One further body paid out approximately €130,000 in respect of personal injury claims during the period in question. However, the Deputy will appreciate that in line with Data Protection regulation, I am not in a position to provide further information as requested.
