The detail requested by the Deputy is an operational matter for the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). PIAB is an independent statutory agency and I, as Minister, am not permitted in my executive function to interfere in any way with the day to day operations and functions of PIAB.
However, in order to assist the Deputy, I have set out in the following tables the relevant information published in the PIAB Annual Reports for the years 2011-17, the Annual Report for 2018 has not been published yet.
