Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Shoplifting: Discussion
Mr. Colin Fee:
It is not pretty at the coalface. If you have a site in a disadvantaged area, 95% of the people are nice, law-abiding, good people. It is just a small minority. The Deputy quite rightly said it and Senator McGahon alluded to it as well, that it is the same names over and over again. My biggest problem is that there seems to be no deterrent. Earlier, I mentioned a guy who has four, five or six bench warrants against him. He came back in and robbed again. In fairness to the gardaí, they got him.
