Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I have heard of the practice of ghost brokering. It is illegal but it is often difficult to enforce the law against an Internet entity that may not be based in the State. I will take up the Deputy's suggestion of an information campaign to warn consumers about this scam so they might be able to avoid being ripped off in this way. I will speak to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission about that, or perhaps the Central Bank, whichever relevant body could run such a campaign.
