I can inform the Deputy that the only State Board under the aegis of my Department where an upper age limit applies is the Private Security Authority Appeal Board. The Private Security Services Act 2004 Schedule 2, Part 1, provides that a member of the Appeal Board of the Private Security Authority must vacate office on attaining the age of 70 years. There are no plans to remove this upper age limit at present.
