It is not about whether Mr. Brennan is happy to work with the Garda or provide further information. There is a legal obligation on insurance companies to report suspicions of fraud. Mr. Brennan's company, Zurich Insurance, determined that there were 100 fraudulent claims made in 2018 and in 96% of those cases the information has not been passed on to the Garda. Zurich is therefore in breach of section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act 2011. It is up to the Garda to decide whether it has enough information to warrant a prosecution, once it is given that information. The requirement in that section is that one has to provide the information where there is a suspicion of fraud.
