The reckless trading provision the Minister mentioned brings to mind a case. Obviously, following the supply chain will reveal what is happening. Where somebody would be involved in supplying and informs the Revenue Commissioners of the suspicions that the person who is purchasing is obviously purchasing in quantities greater than required to fill a lawnmower to mow a lawn, what action do the Revenue Commissioners take against that individual who has alerted them to the belief that there may be illegal activity in the level of the supply chain? My understanding is that they pursue the individual who actually informed the Revenue Commissioners of what he or she believes is illegal activity.
