Prosecutions for social welfare fraud

Summary

A Deputy asked for details of prosecutions for social welfare fraud. The Minister said he would provide them if given a separate question and notice.

Jim Mitchell Mr. J. Mitchell Fine Gael

With regard to people who are found to violate the social welfare regulations, I want to ask the Minister if there are prosecutions. I would like him to give us details of the prosecutions for social welfare fraud.

If the Deputy puts down a question on that I will give him the details sought. Of course there are cases of fraud but they would involve very specific cases of fraud. That is a separate question and I would have to be given notice of it.
