Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Shoplifting: Discussion
Ms Tara Buckley:
In respect of the youth problem, we propose that justice, social protection, education and enterprise come together to look at all the elements they can harness to try to address the problem. We should nip it in the bud when they are young and deal with whatever problems in whatever way. I refer to Deputy Stanton’s idea of the community court the next day and things like that. It would all be feeding into a system that is designed to try to assist people who might start a life of crime to not to go down that route and to go down a better route.
