I hear the Deputy's case. It is the gravity, when compared to the Residential Tenancies Board, in the context of someone earning a livelihood and potentially, their reputation. There is a higher threshold to be looked at in going for a prosecution, as opposed to making a fine. It is a more significant issue. We can look more into this and I can commit to having another look at it with the officials and perhaps checking with the Attorney General's office about it again. I can see, however, that the gravity is very different in terms of the two instances..
