Fianna Fáil bill aims to crack down on false insurance claims

A Fianna Fáil bill proposes to make false insurance claims a criminal offence.

People who make "false" or inaccurate insurance claims in a bid to defraud the system should have their case immediately sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions for potential criminal action, Fianna Fáil has warned.

The party outlined the plan as part of a new bill it has tabled in the Dáil, saying it is vital Ireland does not "have a society where the cheat is the one who wins".
