It is important to include details of nationality and I shall outline my reasons when discussing later amendments. I have a significant concern about those who are being vetted and want the provision to apply to Irish citizens and citizens from other countries. There is a view that the Garda or the National Vetting Bureau should have the capacity to seek relevant information from other international police services. That is the reason my amendment includes the term "nationality". Obviously, I support the Minister's amendments, but I ask him to consider mine on that basis.
