As the Deputy may be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended) the Policing Authority is independent in its functions.

I have been informed by the Policing Authority that the security contract for 90 North King Street was awarded to Top Security. I am further informed that the premises has a number of tenants in addition to the Policing Authority and the contract was awarded after a procurement process by Department of Housing, who are the main tenant of the building. The Policing Authority liaised with the Department of Housing regarding its requirements prior to the tender being issued.
