As you are aware, the National Vetting Bureau conducts vetting in accordance with the requirements of the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016. Vetting is an operational matter for the Garda authorities and neither I, as Minister, nor the Department of Justice and Equality have a role in these matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that records at the Garda National Vetting Bureau (GNVB) indicate that correspondence was received from the organisation in question on 13 February 2018 enquiring about registration with the Garda National Vetting Bureau for vetting services.
The GNVB replied to this enquiry on 13/2/2018, detailing the process for making an Application for Registration and enclosed an Application form for Registration with the GNVB. GNVB Records indicate that the GNVB have not received a reply to the correspondence of the 13/02/2018.
This being the case, I am informed that no determination has been made by the GNVB regarding the registration of the organisation in question.
