Dublin pays out €33.5m to settle personal injury claims

The local authority has released data under freedom of information legislation. The data shows that 2,228 claims were settled between 2018 and 2020.

The council paid out €13.2 million to settle 731 claims in 2018, €12.2 million to settle 853 claims in 2019 and €8 million to settle 644 claims last year.

Over three years the number of claims declined. The value of the highest claims increased from around €100,000 to around €200,000.

Members of the public made the vast majority of claims. This is more than council employees and includes legal costs.
