Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2019)

Eugene Murphy: A lot of the discussion before I had to leave for another meeting centred on fraudulent claims, which seems to be a massive issue.

I would welcome a response from each of the witnesses...
