    For your own sake you should ensure that anyone working on the intruder alarm is licensed by the PSA.
    It's an offence for an unlicensed person to work on an intruder alarm and it's another offence to hire an unlicensed installer, and you should consider if your insurance could be affected.

    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2004/en/act/pub/0012/sec0038.html
    8.—(1) A person shall not employ a person, or engage an independent contractor, to provide a security service if that person or the contractor is required to, but does not, hold a licence to provide the service.
    (2) A person who contravenes subsection (1) is liable—
    (a) on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding €3,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or both, or
    (b) on conviction on indictment, to a fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or both.
    (3) In any proceedings for a contravention of subsection (1) it is a defence to prove that the person providing the security service produced to the defendant—
    (a) if the person is an individual, his or her identity card or licence, or
    (b) if not, the person's licence.

    Just something to bear in mind when you're getting quotes.
