Apologies I worded it wrong. I was trying to say that given the already limited (in essence vetted) selection of funds/options you can invest in within the PRSA there doesn't seem to be much need for an advisor when compared to market activities where you have thousands of investment instruments available to you invluding individual equities, leverage, futures etc.
You look at composition and desired level of risk of available funds within say Zurich. For their execution PRSA, there are only about 20 and can't really go catastrophically wrong.
