The Private Security Authority, established under the Private Security Services Act 2004, is the regulatory body with responsibility for regulating and licensing the private security industry. The Authority is an independent body under the aegis of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.

The issues referred to in the Deputy's Question are matters for which the Authority has sole responsibility. I have forwarded the Deputy's Question to the Authority and have requested that they reply to him directly.
