I ask the Minister to look at that and to look at the legislation the Dáil has passed. There are two legislative measures in particular, but the one relating to the CCPC is the most appropriate on that.

I have a question about head 55, which is about the exact opposite. It provides for a fixed penalty of €250 to €1,000. Can we get a sense of what type of infringements a fixed penalty would be considered appropriate for and, second, whether that range would be an appropriate deterrent? With regard to multinational companies, it is very low to get a €250 fixed fine.
