Mr. Zak Murtagh:

I think the court system has its own difficulties at present around holding rogue operators to account. I am not going to go into great detail as to why that is. To answer the Deputy's question, we do feel that what we are seeing in the Department's approach is to give teeth to enforcement. In terms of a practical issue we feel is really of pivotal importance, we need cohesion between the local authorities. I know this point has already been raised by Senator Fitzpatrick, but we really need to see local authorities stepping up with a common approach on this. That, in turn, will make enforcement effective and it will go after hopefully a small number of rouge operators, but effectively. We do have confidence the proposed legislation as it stands is certainly a step in the right direction on that.
