The Deputy accepts that he has produced badly drafted amendments but it is a pity. A good case could be made for me to accept that there should be fiercer penalties for those who have offended in a more excessive way but I will not accept people being liable on an indictable conviction to a fine not exceeding €10,000. The effect of this amendment is to make every single case go straight to the Circuit Court in front of a jury. Is that what the Deputy wants?
