How big of a problem is shoplifting?

Retailers are calling for a crackdown on what they are calling an “epidemic” of shoplifting across the country; many would like to see tougher sentencing of those convicted to deter the growing rates of the crime. Joining Kieran to discuss is Vincent Jennings, Chief Executive Officer of the Convenience Stores & Newsagents Association of Ireland, Sheila Clarke, who runs Clarke’s XL shop in Ballina, Co. Mayo and later, Jean McCabe, CEO of Retail Excellence.
