The Private Security Authority is not entitled to bring requirements of the
Act into force; it is a ministerial function.

3 Statutory Instruments signed by Minster of Justice brought the provisions
of the Private Security Act 2004 into operation, please find attached,
again.

Any subsequent Regulations cannot overrule, diminish, amend or delete
requirements of the Act itself. The PSA are not lawmakers and cannot
overrule and ignore legislation passed by the DAIL and brought into
operation by ministerial order.

The requirements in the Act are clear; ID has to be displayed.

I did highlight for you the danger of para military activitiesin Ireland which have turned out to be not without foundation as recentevents in Bolivia established a link between neo-fascist para militia and an involvement into apparent assassination attempt of the Bolivian President by
Irish licensed security guards who the PSA allowed to operate on a
construction site in my neighbourhood.

The PSA is not the legislation maker, you are not members of the DAIL or
indeed Senate, your responsibility is the implementation of legislation
passed and brought into operation by the Dail and ministerial order.

You have not only neglected your duty but you still insist in misleading me
and thereby putting my life in danger. As a matter of fact, my neighbour has
been attacked and beaten by masked unidentifiable men of the construction
site whose security you defend, my neighbour can not take civil action as he
has no way of identifying the men, and at best eliminate those staff members
of the security force.

And finally, the Grdai havr no way of being able to identify any
culprit either, as the private security force relies on your defence.

I request you to reply to me.

Yours sincerely,
