Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Fuel Fraud: Revenue Commissioners

11:40 am

Mr. Gerard Moran:

On that point, there must be due process. That has been clear from the judgments we have received concerning licences that have been revoked. We simply cannot close down a filling station there and then on the basis of a sample that we would draw at a mobile laboratory. That is not the kind of legal framework that Revenue operates within. Due process has to be followed in withdrawing a licence. The Deputy will appreciate that in doing so, one is potentially effectively closing down an operator's livelihood.
