Michael McCarthy (Labour)

I share Senator Norris's horror at the fact that anyone would park outside someone's door at 7 a.m. Whatever the excuse, that is hideous activity.

I thank the Minister for her replies thus far. Are sanctions imposed on a person if his or her complaint is not upheld? Do sanctions in law exist in the event of a person making a false complaint? I refer to cases where a complaint is not upheld and someone blatantly and in the knowledge that it was not the case, reported someone, following which the allegation was investigated, requiring an inspector to devote hours of work to processing it.
