To be clear, I am referring to offences under section 29 of that Act. What prosecutions have been brought and what convictions have been secured? It has proven very difficult to get any data whatsoever on that front.

I refer to the role of the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, in this area. Let us say an insurance claim is thrown out of court on the basis of false and exaggerated information being provided. Is that ever referred to the Garda by the justice concerned or is it passed directly to the DPP? How does that work?
