The behaviour, as revealed, is unacceptable. The regulator has acted has acted in a very firm and decisive way. A severe penalty of more than €4 million has been imposed. The regulator's decision is significant and it will have an impact on behaviour. It is deeply disappointing that such behaviour happened in the first instance.

We will work with the Deputy on any additional measures he thinks may be necessary. We will work with him and others in order to see what more can be done to this disincentivise such behaviour in future.
