Minister @daracalleary welcomes the publication of the Injuries Resolution Board Annual Report 2023. “Today’s Annual Report from the Injuries Resolution Board provides further evidence of what has been achieved through government’s ‘Action Plan for Insurance Reform’. Last year the Board’s work generated savings of €75million which would otherwise have been spent in expensive and prolonged litigation. These are real savings that should be passed onto Insurance policy holders.” “The introduction of mediation is a step change for resolving injury claims in our country. The service has commenced for employer liability and public liability injury claims and will be introduced for motor injury claims later this year. Mediation is already working and is successful in bringing about an agreed resolution to personal injury claims. Read the report 👉injuries.ie/eng/annual-repor…
