It will be an unlimited fine, rather than providing for a particular amount. That is the way one draws up legislation generally, rather than setting a maximum fine, as the Deputy proposes to do in her amendment with a maximum fine of €1,000,000. I will look at the term of imprisonment and the five year tariff.
