I will indeed. I might discuss it with the Deputy if he has case studies that he can bring to our attention. I will also talk to the Minister for Finance, who I think will be happy to engage, because it is awful for this to happen to anybody. There is the old adage that if it is too good to be true, then it is too good to be true, in terms of potential returns from investments. That said, the Central Bank publishes warning notices about unauthorised firms as well as a list of them. People should only engage with registered brokers. I do not know whether this person was a registered broker. There may be an issue about who does the inspections and so on. The Deputy has raised the prospect of an inspectorial regime, but fundamentally An Garda has to pursue this.
