Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Tackling the Black Market and Retail Crime Report: Discussion

10:50 am

Mr. Tony Hickey:

People will say that. I have been in cities all over the world and one does not see police officers on the streets. Some cities are very dangerous. When I was in Rome, I asked a taxi driver if there was crime in the city. He said if one came to his country, one had to mind oneself. There is crime in every country. A taximan in Dublin would probably say Ireland was the homicide capital of the world. We must have national pride and do the best we can.
