Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Insurance Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Declan O'Rourke:
Unfortunately, the level of convictions is even lower. Of those ten cases, only one resulted in a conviction. It can be difficult to get convictions in these cases because much of the evidence is gone and CCTV is often needed to prove one's case. We only won a conviction in that case because we could prove that the person who claimed they were in the car was not as they were visible elsewhere on CCTV. We spent a lot of money on that case. It went to court and the person was given community service for the offence.
