It is important to acknowledge it is not to up to retailers to sort out our socioeconomic problems. That is a job for Government policy. We need to have the witnesses leave here today with an idea that this committee can do something to support them. Mr. Jennings mentioned bringing his private CCTV to a garda. What is the admissibility of that as evidence? If I am an arresting inspector sent to get CCTV footage, that is fine, I get it. If Mr. Jennings shows the footage to gardaí, do they actually take note of it or record it or do they simply acknowledge that the culprit has been caught on camera?
