Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Shoplifting: Discussion

Mr. Vincent Jennings:

That is where the suggestion to have a central clearinghouse or sorting house comes in. With the shift patterns of gardaí, Michael might ring but then be off for the next three days. If there were a co-ordinating office, it would chase up cases rather than leaving it to the individual retailers. It could work and should be considered, including for assembling evidence.
