105. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if traffic offences are taken into consideration for job applications requiring Garda vetting with local authority leisure centres; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37180/16]
View answerEmployment vetting is carried out by An Garda Síochána through the Garda Vetting Bureau in accordance with, inter alia, the provisions of the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016 which sets out the procedures for vetting disclosures. Section 14A of the Act makes provisions in respect of circumstances in which certain convictions are not required to be disclosed, including arrangements in respect of offences under the Road Traffic Acts.
