Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 December 2014
121. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if members of An Garda Síochána have to be Garda vetted in order to be deemed suitable to work with children and other vulnerable persons; if so, if she will provide details in tabular form by division of the numbers of members of An Garda Síochána who are not yet Garda vetted. [47577/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAll members of An Garda Síochána are subject to stringent security checks, including Garda vetting, prior to commencement of employment as members of An Garda Síochána. In that regard, all members of An Garda Síochána are Garda vetted.
Where any member of An Garda Síochána operates in a private capacity with any organisation to work with children or vulnerable adults, that individual is subject to the policy of the organisation concerned in respect of Garda vetting in the same manner as any other individual.
