Clearly the Revenue has to operate within existing legislation. If there is a need for further legislation this committee can suggest that. What we have identified, however, is that there may be a gap in the legislation in this instance. I suppose Mr. Moran is saying that people are innocent until proven guilty, so we have to operate on that basis. That is frustrating for the person whose car is effectively out of service, however. That is the difficulty we have here. The problem has been identified and needs to be addressed in some way.
