If we were to serve a notice on somebody, even though there is a process set out, a person who does not want to receive a notice can make it very difficult for a notice to be served. Let us be practical on that. They can be not present at their offices. They can move their offices. They can instruct their colleagues or staff not to receive official or registered documentation purely to delay the process and to delay the screening and the attention that will come as part of this process. Unfortunately it is part of the armoury in some of the management of this. That is why, although Deputy O'Reilly's amendment is very well crafted, it could be used in the wrong way.
