Insurance costs for community sector need to be addressed

A Sligo Councillor says the cost of insurance for the community sector must be addressed.

Independent Councillor, Marie Casserly believes a recent judicial review into personal injury claims doesn't go far enough.

She says damages awarded for minor injuries were reduced by 52% but an 80% is needed to properly address the cost of insurance.

Councillor Casserly says the sector just doesn't have the funds to cover costs.
