I compliment Mr. Padraic White in that regard because I had reason to contact him following an incident in a shop. We are not associated in any way and I have no vested interests but his action did result in me having faith in the system. To be fair to him and his office, he acted promptly and within less than 24 hours action was taken which greatly impressed me. I made the point previously to the committee.
To be fair to Mr. White, what he is saying has a certain validity. I was very impressed at the time. I was in a large supermarket before Christmas and contacted Mr. White’s office. In fairness to him, within 24 hours there was a complete realignment of the store.
