Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
856. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when the new private security appeals board will be appointed; the reason for the delay in appointing the board; and when it will reach a decision on the case of a person (details supplied). [28485/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Private Security Appeal Board is established in accordance with the provisions of Part 5 of the Private Security Services Act 2004. The Government appointed the current Board on 2 May 2017. The process for the appointment of the Board was conducted in accordance with the relevant guidelines but took longer than had been anticipated to complete. The Deputy will appreciate that in accordance with the provisions of the 2004 Act the Board is independent in the performance of its functions. I have been informed that at its recent meeting the Board considered the case of the person to whom the Deputy refers and that it will correspond directly with the person in early course.
