Senator van Turnhout mentioned the national vetting bureau legislation that was introduced earlier this year. It is not possible at present for an individual to apply for a Garda vetting. If I were a childminder minding only two children, it should be possible for me to obtain Garda vetting in my own right. Allowing for this throughout the entire child care service would be useful.
