The agreement which I have with the Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland is confined to cases where the courts give a judgment in favour of a person who has suffered personal injuries arising out of the negligent use of a motor vehicle by another person and there is no insurance to satisfy the judgment. I am advised that the bureau have considered one such case of the type referred to by the Deputy in which the absence of insurance was not a factor and have decided not to pay compensation on the grounds that the case did not come within the terms of the agreement to which I have referred.
