Road Transport Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages
4:00 pm
Sean Barrett (Independent)
We could substitute another commodity but if a person carries it from my business or farm I will get a bill for €500,000 and an invitation to spend three years in Mountjoy Prison because I have engaged in a transport transaction. I will leave milk out in deference to the Senator but this penalty for a relatively innocent act by a member of the Barrett family seems out of all proportion.
