I am informed by the Garda Authorities that a vetting application in respect of the person referred to was received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit on 28 May 2015. Once completed the application will be returned to the registered organisation concerned.
In general, Garda Vetting applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis in chronological order from date of receipt. This is with a view to observing equity and fairness in respect of all vetting subjects.
The current average processing time for vetting applications is four weeks. However, in some instances additional enquiries may be necessary and this may result in processing times in excess of the average.
