Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Community Policing and Rural Crime: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Barry Carey:

We have a mantra when we are in communities. I am engaged in every county in giving advice at public meetings, etc. on crime prevention. We encourage people not to buy certain items. If someone knows that an item is worth €500 and he or she can buy it for €50, it did not fall off the back of a lorry. A market is being created in that regard. The IFA's mantra is that if we buy something cheaply, we are encouraging this activity.
