Mr. Tom O'Mahony:
The legislative system we have at present gives too much of an invitation to people to abuse it. I will not speculate about the extent in different parts of the country, but the system is too wide open and it is being abused. We must close the loophole and then use technology and enforcement mechanisms to track people. That has worked in other countries and we would be happy that it would work here.
