With the ongoing spiral in insurance costs, many businesses across the spectrum state they will have to close because they are not able to get insurance cover or operate without it. Many fine words were spoken about a new unit being established within An Garda Síochána for the referral to the Director of Public Prosecutions of false or misleading claims brought before the courts. Has the Government met the Garda Commissioner to discuss the resources needed by An Garda Síochána to ensure the unit will be set up without further delay? While the Minister for Justice and Equality will say it is an operational matter for the Garda, should that give me the impression that the Government is not taking the matter seriously and refusing to take a hands-on approach to dealing with it?
