Mr. David Brennan:

All the witnesses here in their own daily lives as CEOs would engage regularly with the Garda Síochána. There are four of us sitting here who attend meetings together and we deal with the Garda Síochána on an ongoing basis. As the Chairman so rightly said, this issue has been going on for a number of years. We are here today because we have seen an escalation of the problem and wish to put our concerns to the fore concerning our city and its citizens.
