On 9 April, 2019, I secured Government approval to bring the regulation of private security personnel, employed to assist in enforcing court orders, within the remit of the Private Security Authority. The proposals for this measure and related matters are contained in the report of an Interdepartmental Working Group Report which was published on my Department’s website on 9 April, 2019.

My Department is working with the Office of the Attorney General to bring forward the necessary legislative provisions as soon as possible.
