The Garda Central Vetting Unit provides vetting services to organisations registered with it for that purpose. Vetting disclosures are made in respect of a particular post or employment in response to a written request from a registered organisation and with the permission of the person who is the subject of that request. The Garda Central Vetting Unit has adopted rigorous procedures in the carrying out of its function in order to ensure the integrity of the system and to maintain the highest level of confidence within the organisations who avail of its services.
Any decision regarding the suitability for a position of a particular vetting subject is a matter for the organisation concerned. In that regard the Deputy may wish to note that regulation of the taxi industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority.
