Joe O'Toole (Independent)

The point at issue is clear. We should be increasing the fines in regard to these issues. If this is not the correct way to do it, we should be doing it the right way.

We listened to the contributions on Second Stage. Senator Callely spoke about various problems with laws and asked if this legislation could provide for this, that or the other. I will call for a vote on every section. I want Members on the Government side to walk through the lobbies in respect of the sections of this Bill so that the next time I have to listen to them give out about the non-compliance of bankers and company directors, I will be able to say they had an opportunity to do something about that. When other legislation was debated in this House, we were too soft on these issues. It will not make a great deal of difference to the Tánaiste, but for those of us who are working on making this have more impact and to give a message to people, this is important. The Tánaiste has made up her mind.
