Mr. Noel Dunne:

Absolutely. It has only been ten days. My fear, and what I believe, is that the Garda presence will be until the end of December. Surely, we can extend that to give us a chance to get a read on it and arrive at a consensus to see how much shoplifting has been reduced. We should have those boots on the ground for a further couple of months, rather than two weeks over a very busy period. That could be a test to see whether it works and it is viable to continue it.
