Following the transfer and integration of the Community Welfare Service (formerly of the Health Service Executive) and the Employment Services (formerly FÁS), the Department of Social Protection inherited some of these organisations’ properties and their contractual services, such as security. The Department of Social Protection provides services from approximately 970 locations throughout the State, being the main or sole occupant in approximately 200 of those locations, and as such, is responsible for various upkeep costs, including cleaning and security. As a result, we paid a total of €2,022,730.27 to 35 different security companies in 2012. However, a rationalisation of our Department’s security services has been significantly progressed and there are currently 9 companies providing the service, which are listed as follows:

1. Ashjen Ltd

2. Brinks Ireland Ltd.

3. Doran Security Services

4. G4S Security Services (Ireland) Ltd

5. ISS Facility Services

6. Kennedy Security and Consultancy Ltd

7. Manguard Plus Ltd.

8. Noonan Services Group.

9. Synergy Security Solutions.
