Fines Bill 2009: Committee Stage.
10:30 am
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
I do not believe the provision would be operated as described. Judges would not specifically fine someone €101 to allow him or her to pay in instalments when they have the ability to take into account the person's financial circumstances and impose a fine of a lesser amount. The scenario presented by the Senator does not make sense.
