Would my suggestion of having a mobile laboratory not make sense? If somebody could go onto the forecourts to check petrol, one would have an immediate indication as to whether there is a contaminant in the petrol. One could then proceed accordingly to protect Revenue, the State and the individual citizen in that regard. Would that not be a sensible way to go? Mr. Moran would not then be spending many months trying to find evidence of contaminated fuel that he will not find. Is that not a waste of resources? One will never find a problem with most of the fuel that is being tested. That was my initial point. Mr. Moran needs to be proactive because of the logistics of identifying contaminated petrol.
