Law Reform Commission Report on Regulatory Powers and Corporate Offences: Engagement
Mr. Tom O'Malley:
I might return to a point I was making in response to Deputy Pearse Doherty. Perhaps there is a need, in another context, to consider the penalties that can be imposed on companies generally. Currently, there are financial penalties but they may or may not be effective and, sometimes, there is probably a case for considering more generally the appropriate range of penalties to impose on companies. Imposing the "death penalty" might well be appropriate in some cases.
