Welcome to Episode 35 of The Security Operative podcast. This podcast is aimed generally at the Irish audience but others may be interested.  In it we discuss the new proposed piece of legislation in  Ireland to regulate Enforcement officers and those who support with enforcement of court orders and evictions.
