Injuries Board awards not to blame for spike in premiums, Dáil committee told

A State body which rules on insurance claims for car accidents has said its awards fluctuate by as little as 1-2% a year.

Amid deep anger by motorists over a 70% rise in premiums in the last three years and 38% spike in the last year, the Injuries Board told a parliamentary watchdog that the levels of pay-outs it orders are relatively stable.
