I appreciate that. Our guests will hear from many members of the committee that we want additional action in respect of an insurance fraud unit and to ensure there is not a revolving door in the courts, with those who make fraudulent claims just walking out with no losses. Deputy Michael McGrath has prepared legislation in that regard. Nevertheless, this meeting is about the industry and I wish to address the figures, not anecdotes or stories. Mr. Farrell stated Aviva reported 100 fraudulent claims to the Garda. What proportion is that of the overall number of suspected fraudulent claims?
