Senator Ryan also made a point about old men being sent to prison. There was something sad about the TV footage of the person in question and it brought to mind the line, "Every old man I see reminds me of my father" from Patrick Kavanagh's poem. I accept that we must look to our humanity but the case in question involved corruption. It remains to be seen what will happen. The Senator also referred to the inequity between how a person who stole a loaf of bread in a local store might be punished with the way Revenue treats people involved in financial trusts.
