Can the Taoiseach explain why his Government has announced that it is abandoning the Garda insurance fraud unit? That unit specialises in insurance fraud which has been a Government policy, via the work of the cost of insurance working group, since early 2017 and was fully endorsed by the Personal Injuries Commission. Businesses are closing down across the country and this Government is too afraid to stand up to the insurance companies to tackle considerable insurance costs. Why has the Government abandoned the insurance fraud unit and what can the Minister tell business owners who are struggling to keep their doors open due to the high insurance costs?
