Mr. Jackie McMahon:

There is a lot of hope there and, not only that, the bar of evidence required in order to prove fraud is very high. It is very often a difficult case to pursue and that can also be difficult for our customers who sometimes feel that there are fraudulent cases taken against them but knowing a case is fraudulent and proving that to the standards of the court are different things. There a number of steps from a Garda investigation to a DPP prosecution.
