The difficulty is that, at the very minimum, negligence is involved. Vehicles have been damaged. Families have been decimated economically by this action. The culprits need to be identified. If it is negligence, the car owners are covered by insurance and the insurance companies should kick in here. However, if the Revenue Commissioners have only received one third of the reports that have been presented to the Garda Síochána, how can they identify the source of this?

I ask the Minister for an assurance that the Revenue Commissioners will do everything possible to identify the source of the contamination, whether caused by negligence or fraud. If the information cannot be used for a criminal prosecution, this information should be made available for a civil prosecution.

Why are there two completely different standards for the recording of the deliveries of petrol fuel and diesel fuel? If these recording systems were similar, it would have been much easier to identify the source of the problem and ensure people were adequately compensated.
