Mr. Stephen Kent:

I have just two things to say. We have to be practical. In our company we have a small number of cases but as has been said every case is more. We are so dispersed across the country that having the police there will not be a panacea. We still need to have good relationships with gardaí on the ground, which we do. We also had to look across the whole network and say we invest in different security companies in locations we know are hotspots. Maybe there would be an opportunity to be more co-ordinated if there were more funding. There is equally a lot of investment in CCTV, but even from our perspective a lot of CCTV at the moment is probably antiquated. We rely on getting cartridges off buses and things like that. Investing in remote access systems and so on is part of the solution. It is not just one piece; there are a number of things that would help.
