Fine Gael's John Clendennen feels a grant will allow retailers to report crime more easily.
An Offaly TD wants support for businesses to introduce IT systems that make reporting retail crime quicker and easier.
Fine Gael Deputy John Clendennen believes the rollout of a retail crime grant would provide allow retailers to report incidents directly to Gardaí.
His proposal would see companies share information on theft and anti-social behaviour to alert Gardaí to emerging patterns.
He says supporting retailers through technology will tackle retail crime more effectively:
