Why have there not been any prosecutions? Why is the law being flouted openly? I have seen "RTÉ Investigates" - and I admire a lot of what it does - go down to Tipperary, punish decent companies, mislead, stick a camera on someone and totally blackguard a businessman who has since died. You can do all this in the name of honesty and transparency. It grievously wronged that company, but there is no comeback. Once it goes out on national television it is not possible to kill a lie and it was that. You want to judge businesspeople and others, yet this rotten system continues. I call it rotten and I mean rotten. That is what it is.
