I will just tease this out a little more. If an insurance company is aware of these things and does not bring that information to An Garda Síochána, is that company guilty of an offence? I am referring to the company not bringing the information to An Garda Síochána and allowing it to make a judgment concerning how far to go with a complaint.

If an insurance company has 60,000 claims and rejects 10,000 of them, it has rejected them for a reason. They have been rejected because it does not believe them. In many instances, the people who made them have walked away and lived with it. The insurance company is aware of the situation and has made a decision not to pay out. The people involved have walked away, but should all of the 10,000 claims not go to An Garda Síochána for assessment? I appreciate that there would be an administrative and staff burden, but An Garda Síochána should investigate many more cases of fraud.
