Question:

510 Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will confirm when a Garda clearance certificate will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8; if this case will be expedited as quickly as possible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34430/12]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) has no record of a vetting application on behalf of the individual concerned. In the circumstances, I can only suggest that the person concerned seek clarification from the organisation submitting the application.
