Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

It is my understanding, but maybe not the Deputy's understanding, that one cannot recover on an insurance claim unless one reports it to the Garda Síochána. I cannot understand how there could be such a wide disparity. I do not believe people would report matters to their loss adjusters and attempt to make a claim without reporting the theft to the Garda Síochána.
