Mr. John McCarthy:

The action that is being taken around the Border is never, and never will be, reliant on warning letters. The co-operation activities are taking place between enforcement agencies in the North and South and if those agencies can get to a point of identifying who is responsible for the activities that are taking place in terms of illegal diesel laundering, they will not be dealt with by way of warning letter.
