Garda vetting is a major issue. People cannot take up certain jobs without having Garda clearance. Has the issue of resources for this work been re-examined or has the process been streamlined so that a person who has been vetted and approved may use his or her certificate of Garda clearance for a range of jobs? I have no doubt that Mr. Purcell is well aware that Garda clearance is a requirement for anybody doing voluntary work and is making the running of voluntary organisations difficult on a practical level and is killing them.
