Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Shoplifting: Discussion
Mr. Colin Fee:
We had security for about six years for the evening shift on the troublesome site. Eventually, we stopped it, purely because of the cost. The security guards from the third-party contractor were afraid. There were a couple of robberies in which they said there was no way they would take on the offender. Therefore, it was pointless having them. We do take on security for leaving certificate nights, busy nights and festivals but the cost is an issue. The security guards were afraid.
