869. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when a Garda clearance application will be processed in respect of a person in (details supplied) County Galway in view of the fact that their application was made six months ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16031/13]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that five vetting applications have been received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) on behalf of the person to whom the Deputy refers. I am further informed that three of these vetting applications were processed and returned to the registered organisations concerned on 26 February 2013 and 21 March 2013. The remaining two applications were received by the GCVU on 5 and 22 March 2013 respectively and will be returned to the registered organisations once completed.
