I thank all the witness for attending what has been an informative meeting. I myself worked in retail for 19 years. One of those shops was a travel agency in London in what people would have called a tough area to work in. I can appreciate some of what you have said. My office in Limerick is an area called the Market Quarter and the gardaí often come into my office for CCTV footage of crimes committed on the street. As a level of crime is going on in the area, I can empathise there as well. We will not leave it at that. We will try to do something because we can understand the what the witnesses are saying. I am mindful of the costs that are coming down the line for them. As they do not need this one as well, we will do our best to mitigate this.

That concludes the committee's business in public session. I propose we now go into private session to consider other business. Is that agreed? Agreed.
