We hear suggestions that An Garda Síochána should have a designated section to deal with insurance fraud only. Why has the Garda Commissioner not supported such a proposal? Why is he going with a divisional-led model? Will Mr. Twomey expand on that? When he is talking about that, will he expand on the number of personnel within An Garda Síochána who have skills in investigating insurance fraud? He has made reference to such personnel, but what is the level of expertise within the organisation in respect of accountants and forensic people who have the skill sets to carry out such investigations? What form do these investigations take? On the more specific macro point, why is An Garda Síochána not establishing a specific unit to deal with the scandal of insurance fraud?
