History

Established in 1966.

In 1966 Ireland experienced the longest Bank Strike in our Country’s History. This strike led, indirectly, to the establishment of Ireland’s first Security Company.

As a result of this Bank Strike, a Company, Irish Industrial Gases, based in Bluebell, found themselves in the arguably unenviable position of having a Safe packed to the brim with Cash !!

IIG approached an up and coming young Garda Sergeant based in Clondalkin Station by the name of John Courtney and enquired whether he knew of a reliable and trustworthy person who could be called upon to protect their cash. John immediately contacted Martin Kenna of Inchicore and the rest, as they say, is History.

In the early days the progress and growth of Private Security closely mirrored the establishment of the John F. Kennedy Industrial Estate. Today we provide security services to over 200 customers throughout the Greater Dublin Area.

In September 2016 Private Security will celebrate its 50^th year in the Security Industry.
