Pothole fraud found
Eleven people fell into the same Irish pothole in Cork in one year. Now the fraud squad is investigating a flood of injury complaints which has made this west of Ireland city one of the most accident-prone in Europe. Payouts for malicious injury this year are expected to top 2.5 million punts (SNZ6.3 million). Cork corporation officials first became suspicious when the injury claims were computerised and the same names cropped up. — NZPA-Reuter
