Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 March 2008
481 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if an application has been received from a person (details supplied) in County Cork for a Garda clearance certificate; if so, when the certificate will be issued; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) makes criminal history vetting disclosures to registered organisations in respect of prospective employees, volunteers and students on placement who would have substantive, unsupervised access to children and vulnerable adults. I am informed by the Garda authorities that the GCVU has not received a vetting application form in respect of the person in question from any registered organisation on his behalf. In the circumstances, I would suggest that the person in question contact the organisation to which he has sought to be recruited to clarify matters.
