Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Yes, I accept that. My Department gave inaccurate figures. The level of suspected identity fraud is, in fact, 11 times higher than the figures we incorrectly gave to the House the other day. I will give them again. There have been 11 cases so far this year. There were 46 last year, 54 the year before and 29 the year before that, which gives a total of 140 in the past three and a half years. Identity fraud is one of the less common forms of attempted fraud. It is much less common than working and claiming, for example.
