*The current Chairperson of the Private Security Authority (PSA), Mr. Noel Lappin, met with the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality on 3 July 2013. However Mr. Lappin had not been formally appointed either as a member of the Board of the PSA or its Chairperson at that time and he appeared before the Committee in accordance with Government Decision of 12th April 2011 (Reference S180/20/10/1424), which requires the Chair Designate of any Board to make himself available to the Joint Committee. Mr Lappin as the proposed Chairperson was informed of this requirement in advance and arrangements were accordingly made with the Clerk to the Oireachtas Committee in order to facilitate this meeting. Mr. Lappin was formally appointed to the Board of the PSA on 22 July 2013 and was appointed as its Chairperson on that date also.
