Under new rules being implemented by the Private Security Authority (PSA), publicans or nightclub owners who employ security staff not licensed with the PSA face €3,000 fines or up to 12 months in prison, if they flout new laws governing security at licensed premises.
“It’s not a moment too soon,” said Andrew Moynihan, whose son Adrian, 23, was found to have died as a result of being restrained by staff at a Cork City nightclub in 2001.
