Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Garda Authorities that a vetting application in respect of the person to whom the Deputy refers was received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit and is in the course of being processed. It is anticipated that a response should issue shortly. The average processing time for vetting applications fluctuates in line with periods of increased demand. In processing an individual vetting application, additional time may be required in cases where clarification is needed as to the details provided or where other inquiries need to be made. However, the Gardaí make every effort to reduce the time to the minimum possible consistent with carrying out what are very necessary checks.
