The Chairman is aware how this problem is being viewed by people in our constituency and the answers given have been very unsatisfactory. There is a problem with the system and if that is not going to be addressed, motorists will be lame ducks and the people whose vehicles have been damaged will be lame ducks again. Something needs to be done. The idea that we will get a lot of convictions in the future as a result of all the serious work Revenue is doing, which is based on looking at an historical situation, is not going to happen. What will be done to stop incidents such as that of the contaminated fuel from Bournemouth from being brought into this country? What tests will be conducted in filling stations? How will such operations be stamped out? They need to be stamped out in the same way as Revenue succeeded in stamping out diesel laundering.
