I propose to take Questions Nos. 97 and 98 together.

The Private Security Authority (PSA), established under the Private Security Services Act 2004, as amended, is the regulatory body with responsibility for regulating and licensing the private security industry in the State. The PSA is an independent body under the aegis of my Department. I have no involvement in the day-to-day operations of the Authority.

The details requested are set out in the Table 1 and Table 2 attached.

Table 1:

Number of investigations initiated by the Private Security Authority since 2008 on a year by year basis in relation to licensed door security the number of those investigations completed to date and the number of those investigations awaiting conclusion.
