Aengus Ó Snodaigh
Question:216 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that delays reportedly of three months in returning Garda vetting applications submitted by the Health Service Executive in Ballymun are preventing persons taking up new positions of employment for which the clearance is required resulting in a loss of earnings in view of the fact that the departure from prior employment normally involves working notice of just one month; the average and maximum vetting turnaround time between the submission by the HSE and others of an application for clearance and the return of such clearance by the Garda vetting unit; and the steps he will take to speed up the process in order to prevent unnecessary loss of earnings.
