Would the Garda representatives not think that insurance companies have a vested interested in this area and would like to make an example of those bringing fraudulent claims? Would companies not like those involved to be publicly accused in court and eventually convicted of insurance fraud? Would it not be in the direct financial interest of the companies to ensure this happens? Yet, those companies are referring few cases to the Garda. After last week's events, I suspect that may change in the period ahead. They might need to look at extra resources in this area because of a sense of obligation to refer more cases in the aftermath of this meeting and that which took place last week. It is difficult to understand why they have not done so up to now.
