So that's all time and money.
That deserves to be compensated as well because if the person hadn't stolen the property, hadn't driven off, hadn't committed the fraud, we wouldn't be in that situation.
So why should the retailer or any other victim of crime, why should they suffer one bit
Well, it's a matter for the courts to decide whether there will be a conviction or not.
What we're trying to do is increase the level of oversight from zero to something that is there.
And we would like to believe that even if the person says, I don't have the money,
that there can be an attachment of earnings to order to them.
That at some point or other, maybe they will get a job, maybe they do have a job, but at least there is an ongoing situation that the state says, you stole this money from these people, they are entitled to be compensated, either now or into the future.
It is most certainly, for some people, it is their most abiding cost.
There are people who literally, and I mean this now literally here in the city of Dublin, there are people who have five, six, eight incidences of thefts per day.

They do things that you wouldn't believe happen.
They do, and very frequently that's just ignored.
Other times, there are times when there is a clear, it's a sole trader or it's an individual.
But when the offended person or entity is a company, there is much less attempts by the state or by the judge to issue compensation for the company.
And I really would love to think that this is going to happen.
