Watch: Glenn Bedingfield Says He’ll Review Fine Amounts After Public Raises Concerns

Home Affairs and Security Minister Glenn Bedingfield has said he will be reviewing the current levels of certain fines after taking note of concerns raised by members of the public.

In a video shared on social media while travelling to Ireland for a Council of Europe meeting, Bedingfield said he had been reading statements and comments from the public, acknowledging that several people had raised valid points.

He agreed that some of the fines currently imposed for specific contraventions may be too low and confirmed that he will be looking into the relevant amounts.

According to the minister, fines should reflect the seriousness of the offence, arguing that penalties need to be proportionate to the damage caused to residents and the impact of the contravention committed.

Bedingfield did not specify which fines could be revised but said the matter will now be reviewed.

What do you think the updated fines should be?
