Tomás MacGiolla
Question:26 Tomás Mac Giolla asked the Minister for Justice if his attention has been drawn to claims made at the recent conference of the Irish Security Industry Association in Cork that nuisance alarm calls, many of them due to faulty, unsuitable or badly-set equipment, are costing the Garda up to £10 million per annum; if he will consider introducing a system of licensing for alarm companies to guarantee that installations are of an acceptable quality and do not result in the waste of Garda time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
