The fine can be variable, as the Minister has indicated. The section does not fix and establish a penalty. The Minister invoked the Constitution but failed to nail it. He withdrew from that position and said it was inappropriate, which is a much weaker phrase. A fine of €20,000 similar to that in Britain should be imposed. The British did not have a problem with it. However, I will not press the amendment. I will leave it for Report Stage.
