Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2013
681. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps he is taking to tackle the problem of fraudulent motor insurance claims; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2588/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department's role with regard to motor insurance is confined to the enactment of policy relating to the relevant Road Traffic Acts. I have no role in the regulation of the motor insurance industry. Motor insurance is provided as a private contract between the supplier and the customer. Any fraudulent activity by a claimant is a matter for the insurance company to investigate.
