General Scheme of Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Discussion

Ms Moyagh Murdock:

As I said, I do not have a figure here. It is important to get the first period of execution of the new memorandum of understanding to see how that is panning out. The Garda will receive reports of fraud from multiple sources, whether they come from the insurer or members of the public. There are different sources. The members of Insurance Ireland will report fraud to the Garda. They will also deal with it themselves. There are other sources for the reporting of insurance fraud, so it would be difficult to give the Deputy a comparative figure.
