Amendment No. 35 replaces Schedule 3, as Parts 1 and 2 of that Schedule are redundant with the linking of the Bill to the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2012, as per amendment No. 19. Part 3 of Schedule 3 has been amended to provide for membership of the Reserve Defence Forces and the Garda Reserve, which are not covered by the references to employment in the Defence Forces and the Garda Síochána in paragraph 1. Members of both reserves are not employees of either the Defence Forces or the Garda Síochána. With this change, anyone applying to join the either reserve force will have to disclose all convictions.
