    The Irish voter seems very reluctant to do this unfortunately.

    I think some FG politicians are doing very good job (before mentioned Kate O'Connell and Simon Coveney are good example) but it was pretty clear that they have very little appetite to reign in insurance claims. This will hurt them and deservedly so.

    SOR posted out that her medical insurance would surely cover some of them. However, at the Swiftcare Clinics VHI ask to to sign a form (can’t recall exactly) if the injury is to form part of a legal claim. I suspect the medical insurers would be asking to have medical expenses claim against them compensated out of a successful court case.

    All insurers would do that. It's subrogation. If you get hurt in a car accident, and there's a claim in against the others insurance company, you'd be expected to pay back the health insurer once the claim is paid out.

    So she had already decided to make a claim irrespective of the medical costs. So she's lying. It wasn't only to recoup medical costs, as she's claiming.

    When SOR pointed out she ran the 10k in a pretty good time, she said "Not for me".

    Balls.ie found her results for the race, as well as previous years' results.

    https://www.balls.ie/athletics/maria-bailey-laments-poor-10km-time-411273
    In truth however, a time of 53:56 (gross result) was no small feat, given she was racing just three weeks after sustaining a fall from a swing in a Dublin hotel and undergoing "intensive physio" in the build-up. Not only that but when we consider her time in previous years, her 2015 performance was quite impressive. The result was only 44 seconds slower than her time of 53:12 (gross result) in 2014 and far above her 2012 performance, when she ran a time of 58 minutes and 20 seconds.

    Reminiscent of the kettle calling the pot black ass, other than commenting on everything and anything else rather than what appears to be a dodgy insurance claim, you seem more interested in posting waffle in an attempt at getting people's goats up.

    Why it's continually let slide is a mystery, but fair play TRoL, just keep doing what you do horse.

    Her legal team need to have a word with her. Either she lied to them or they submitted a case knowing their client had caused her own accident. She told SOR she had a beer in one hand and was reaching for her friends drink with the other hand . I'm amazed she actually went on radio to try and explain herself. She made it worse if that was possible.
    As for Leo I doubt he will do anything, all mouth no substance.

    jaysus just started listening and the first line out of her trap was a lie.. Not even one line did she manage without a lie..

    she was not looking 'only' for her medical expenses... her expenses were in itself inexplicable but parking that - even the inexplicable medical costs only amounted to 7K - she was suing for almost 10 times that.

    What an abject disgrace.
