Second, I do not doubt that the fact that people are smuggled into Ireland in the backs of containers, to be exploited for many months or years, will come to light in the fullness of time. Such people may almost become slaves as a result of being exploited by ruthless employers. Therefore, a fine of €3,000 for a body corporate found to have been involved in such exploitation would be a laughable deterrent. It would not be a suitable punishment for those who have perpetuated such iniquity. A receiver of stolen property is often more guilty than a thief, as a thief would not steal if he or she was not confident of a ready market for his or her stolen goods. Similarly, those proffering themselves as illegal employees appeal, in effect, to the worst instincts in employers. I refer to employers who know that persons are here illegally and not entitled to work but employ such persons nonetheless.
