One solicitor boasted on Facebook that he got €80,000 for a girl making a claim. He said that if others have similar cases, they should come to him so he can do the same for them. There are serial claimants and they need to be dealt with. They need to be put on a list and action needs to be taken in regard to them. The fraud squad or some other squad needs to be sent after them because they have the country ruined and they have people driven down through the ground. We have enough reports and studies; we want action now. I ask the Minister to take action on fraudulent claims.

Some of what Mr. Quinn did was not correct but he also did a lot of good. He revolutionised how claims were dealt with. He dealt with them before they went legal. We must take positive action now, and the fraud squad or some other squad must be put into action to deal with these people. We have had enough reports and studies; we want action.
