Why Are Ireland’s High-Net-Worth Clients Choosing Former Military Protection?

Because they want professionals who’ve operated under real pressure - and know how to respond when it counts.

Across Ireland, more HNW individuals are choosing former military Close Protection because the stakes are rising:  • High-value homes in visible locations  • Frequent international travel with minimal planning windows  • Children in elite schools with predictable routines  • Public exposure through business, social media, or family ties
