That backs up what the workers were telling me. When I met them on a number of occasions, I got the same feedback. It is not as people might expect going to and coming from work; it is actually while they are it work. I will continue on that for all of our guests. The incidents that are described are on a scale. I have spoken to retailers who have talked about hammer attacks. There is everything from someone simply shouting a swear word and walking out right up to very serious levels of violence. The low-level ones we never hear about because very often retailers tell me they do not report to the Garda because it is not necessarily a huge incident. However, it is very traumatising and disturbing for staff, owners and everyone working there. What types of incidents are the retailers dealing with on a regular basis?
