Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ms Harney)

The Agreed Programme for Government contains a commitment to establish the personal injuries assessment board. I expect to present to Government, in accordance with the usual procedures, the report of the interdepartmental implementation group in the near future. I also confirm that I received the report recently. I intend to make the report public after it has been considered by Government.
