Personal Injuries Assessment Board
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-15
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

There is not a gaping hole and there is no lacuna. It is on purpose. PIAB is an administrative body and both parties voluntarily enter its process to try to resolve the matter as quickly as possible without resorting to litigation. If we were to introduce what the Senator is proposing, we would effectively turn PIAB into a quasi-judicial body.
