Road accidents in Ireland

Northern Ireland driver has accident in the Irish Republic: can he be compelled to use the Irish Republic's Personal Injuries Assessment Board — by Conrad Murray — last modified 2007-10-10 13:22

I am from Northern Ireland and was involved in a head on crash with another car on a narrow lane during a recent trip across the border in the Irish Republic. The guards who attended the scene measured up and said the other man had been speeding whereas my skidmarks showed I had not. The man's insurers in the Irish Republic have conceded liability but are insisting the claim is processed through the Personal Injuries Assessment Board in the Irish Republic and won't speak to my solicitor. Is it true I can now bring the claim with you in Northern Ireland or elsewhere in the UK?
