Mr. Noel Waters:

I agree with the Deputy entirely. Gardaí do have very good relationships with the private security industry generally. They have senior gardaí on the board of it. They ensure that the appropriate licences are issued to the people who should be getting them in an industry that historically was not always very clean. That is what they are working very hard to ensure. There are very good relationships there and they do work with them. Ultimately, we have to ensure that we have outcomes which are to the benefit of all the community.
