The working group on Garda vetting, which was charged with considering the expansion and enhancement of the vetting services of the Garda central vetting unit, acknowledged the potential benefits of vetting performed beyond the scope of the criminal justice system. Accordingly, the working group recommended that the Departments of Health and Children and Education and Science should consider the development of non-Garda, employment-related vetting registers to provide information on those previously dismissed, suspended, moved or made redundant from posts for harming children or vulnerable adults in the health and education sectors. The Deputy will appreciate that further consideration of such matters would be a matter, in the first instance, for my colleagues, the Ministers for Health and Children and Education and Science.
