Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

We will continue to take the issue seriously. The Deputy asked what new measures the Department would take this year. The introduction of the new PPS card is a new initiative. Members of the public can also make a complaint or report suspected fraud on-line without providing any information about themselves. They can provide details and information on the Department's website about people who they believe are engaging in fraud. The success of these initiatives will prove helpful.
