Sir, - Mr John O'Donoghue stated recently: "The reality of the situation is that if you introduce an amnesty people will expect that there will be further amnesties. An amnesty does, in fact, reward people who seek to abuse the asylum process".
If we swap the phrase "asylum process" with "tax system", doesn't this sound very familiar indeed? - Yours, etc.,
