Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome our guests. Cuirim fáilte rompu agus gabhaim buíochas leo as a bheith anseo. I will start with Assistant Commissioner Kelly. Will he give us some understanding on what happens when somebody is a victim of an APP fraud? The BPFI told us that 3,967 transactions were affected by APP fraud in 2021. Was each one of those transactions reported to the Garda Síochána?

We are focusing on authorised push payments here, but STRs deal with authorised and non-authorised push payments.
