On the issue of compensation, during the Second Stage debate on this Bill I raised the possibility of seized assets being used to fund compensation. For example, in regard to the diesel laundering plant in Monaghan that was shut down a few weeks ago perhaps its profits or machinery such as tankers could be sold to fund compensation to people who are out of pocket because of the contamination of fuel. This is a serious issue for the people who have no insurance and nowhere else to turn. Taking from those who have caused the problem would be directing compensation in the right direction.
