Vol. 317 No. 9

Written Answers. - Registration of Security Firms.

385.

asked the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Energy if a register of the number of security firms and companies operating within the security industry in this country exists and if not, the proposals, if any, to introduce such a register.

386.

asked the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Energy the proposals, if any, to introduce regulations for registration of security firms.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 385 and 386 together.

I do not accept the implication in the questions that I have a responsibility for the regulation or registration of security firms. Accordingly no register of such firms is maintained by my Department and so far as I am concerned there are no proposals to introduce such a register or to introduce regulations in respect of the registration of security firms.

I would refer the Deputy to a comprehensive reply given by the Minister for Justice to a somewhat similar question on 23 October 1979.
