I raised the issue before about stupid items in terms of insurance costs. Can I have some opinions on that from Mr. Jennings or Mr. Stanley, but also from Retail Excellence Ireland, in terms of the other side of it? I mentioned this during a debate on a motion on antisocial behaviour and the consequences of it, and we had presentations earlier form retailers talking about defamation claims if they accused someone or asked to search someone. I think we should go further and retailers, if they have security staff, should be able to detain people until gardaí arrive if those people are shoplifting. What are the witnesses' views on that?
