I attribute some of the increase to the ease of selling gold, as advertised extensively at the moment. I have carried out some research on this. It is quite easy to send gold by post. Identification is required and I do not wish to cast aspersions on the companies involved. Most of the robberies involve valuable gold that is left in bedrooms and is not regarded by most people as being of great worth unless one collects enough of it and sends it to a company. The company seeks identification but, if one sends this by post, it is very easy to forge identification. It is easy to satisfy the requirements sought by some of these companies, which I will not name at this point. The Cathaoirleach will be delighted to hear this.
