20. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs how a non-governmental person can obtain personal security clearance in Ireland, which is required to undertake work in areas including the European Defence Fund; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37434/23]
View answerOn occasion, my Department issues personnel Security Clearance Certificates to Irish citizens working with EU Institutions where there are clear grounds to do so. A Garda Vetting Form must be completed and submitted with a valid form of identification in respect of each applicant. Once an applicant has satisfied the necessary criteria, a personal Security Clearance Certificate can be issued to them.
