There is something there. However, the difficulty, of course, in creating more and more sanctions is that it uses more and more court time, whereas one could remedy that at the outset. Let us say that a court makes an order that a person will pay €200 a week for the next ten years or whatever happens or until I say differently, Revenue is then notified and it is just managed in that way so we do not have to continue to go back to judges all the time. Is there a way to create a power in statute for somebody in that agency to be the enforcer of that or be that co-ordinator with Revenue?
