I am aware of the importance of this issue and I am glad to be able to tell the Deputy how much work has been done on it. The Minister of State and I are very much aware of the many issues being created for small and medium sized businesses and for the leisure sector all over the country. This is why we put in place the Personal Injuries Commission. It is why we enacted the Judicial Council Act 2019 and why the Insurance (Amendment) Act 2018 was passed. It is why we put in place the national claims information database and why we worked with An Garda Síochána, while recognising its independence, to develop a divisional focus on insurance fraud which will be guided by the Garda national economic crime bureau. We are very much aware of the cost this causes for so many across the country and the actions we have taken show our determination to make a difference. I am confident that these actions, in totality, will lead to even more progress on the issues.
