I am not sure whether the Minister is aware that a High Court judge, Mr. Justice Sean Ryan, has described the activities of Charles Allen at Lota More, County Cork, as "unsatisfactory and unsavoury". Mr. Justice Ryan further commented that trust documents could be a front for illegal activity. Has the Minister discussed this situation with the Garda Commissioner, as indicated by the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch? Can he comment on the fact that firearms have been found in some of the properties under the control of this trust? I think that discovery underscores and emphasises the concerns raised by Mr. Justice Ryan. Who is responsible for policing and enforcing section 43 of the Consumer Protection Act 2007, which prohibits the use of misleading, false or deceptive information to attract new customers?
