Question:

864. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Justice If she has received the 2022 annual report from the Private Security Authority; and when same will be published online. [36520/23]

Written answers

Minister for Justice

As the Deputy is aware, the Private Security Authority (PSA), an independent body under the aegis of my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for licensing and regulating the private security industry in Ireland.

Under Section 16 of the Private Security Services Act 2004, the Private Security Authority is required to provide me with a copy of their Annual Report for the preceding year no later than 30 September each year.  

I have not yet received the Private Security Authority Annual Report for 2022 but once received I will make arrangements for its publication in due course.
