Mr. Pat Lordan:

There are a few examples of people reporting false claims related to a mobile phone to a company that insures it, but there would not be many. I am keen to clear up one point. There was a sense from some private businesses that they could not report to the Garda in the same way insurance companies could. At a recent meeting I clarified the matter. There are plans in place to draw up guidelines for other industries to report if they need to report to us.
