I am conscious that throughout this discussion over the last number of months the Minister has been talking about trying to harmonise the law on penalties here. I am conscious also that we have staggered levels as well. We have the 20 mg level and the 50 mg level. Is that the Department's next move? Is having a universal 20 mg level as distinct from having a stepped approach something the Minister has discussed with the Department?
