This would be a very strong message to send to the DAA. Obviously, there is the court option as well but this would be a strong message that the DAA could not get away with breaching the limit on a particular night. To go after a breach for one or two nights would be quite difficult. If there was an automatic mechanism whereby penalties would be imposed for any kind of breach, it would send a strong message and it is certainly worthy of putting in legislation. I accept Deputy Daly's point about improving the wording before Report Stage.
