Apologies that I missed Mr. Kelleher's presentation. Deputy Wallace raised a valid point around the individual within the State organisation and the body getting the effective punishment in law. Is there any real deterrent for a public body? Is there an element of moral hazard on the individual within the body. Would it be better, in a legislative context, to place much more responsibility on those working within that body within the law?
