Garda vetting services are available in respect of health service employees with substantial unsupervised access to children and vulnerable adults. Vetting applications are dealt with as expeditiously as possible by the Garda central vetting unit and I am informed that correctly completed applications are being processed to a conclusion within approximately four weeks from the date of receipt.
