As part of my Department's Decentralisation Programme, the Private Security Authority (PSA) decentralised to Tipperary Town in February 2005. The PSA has a total staff of forty-one, thirty-seven of whom are based in Tipperary. Twenty-eight members of staff were recruited under the decentralisation process. I can also inform the Deputy that, in addition to the above, work is now well under way to transfer sixty posts from the Irish Naturalisation Immigration Service to the town in the first half of this year.
