He said that he has asked the Law Reform Commission to undertake a detailed analysis as to whether “constitutionally sound legislation” to cap or limit the amount of damages a court may award can be introduced. “We should not rule out a referendum down the line if the existing reforms that are planned do not work,” he said.

The issue of insurance payouts has been high on the political agenda in recent months, with the narrative that Ireland has a compensation culture also scrutinised.Yes No Not sure

We should hold one first on capping insurance company profits and or premium's!

Or how about those we elected doing their job and passing a law

How about capping salaries and bonuses of insurance executives and the policy premiums they issue!!!

It takes a referendum to stop insurance companies from robbing us? If they actually just done their job in catching fraudsters then it would be sorted. They've been proven to be fraudulent in claiming they've done their jobs correctly

Water ownership referendum first

No! Just limit the payouts

What about capping policies?

We should have real judges who make real decisions based on real life and give realistic awards when proven.

the blame the people making claims story that insurance companies have convinced us of, yet they dont follow up on this huge amount of fraud that only they seem to say is happening and we all go along with it. Makes ya think maybe it over exaggerated so they can increase premiums

How about capoung the insurance cost?

We should have a referendum on capping insurance policy prices

Why do we need to spend millions in a referendum, can't we just cap them?
