I was not aware that Senator Lorraine Higgins was going to raise the issue of Garda vetting. As chairman of the Leitrim County Childcare Committee, I endorse everything she has said. Some months ago the relevant Minister announced that he had reduced the period of delay to six weeks. I am sad to relate to the House that it has now gone back up to three months.
