Developments in the Insurance Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Aidan Connaughton:

There were 13 cases reported to the Garda with concrete evidence of fraud in 2019. There were 11 cases reported to the Garda in 2020.

So far this year, we have reported three cases of concrete fraud to the Garda. Over recent years, we have seen two convictions relating to fraud, one a number of years ago and one very recently, which I believe will come before the judge at the end of June.
