Insurance Fraud: Discussion

Mr. John Twomey:

To be clear, we are not talking about private money being used in any way to resource An Garda Síochána. If we consider the amount of information the industry has available to it which may be of assistance to us in progressing our work, there is merit in some of that being discussed and pursued. Using our crime database, we do a lot of work through analytics to help us be more intelligent and smarter in how we go about our business. That is really what we are talking about here. We are considering whether we can use the information currently available to enable us to be more effective in terms of reducing the opportunity to commit crime and improving the possibility of bringing people to justice.
