I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) has no record of a vetting application having been received on behalf of the person in question.

I am informed by the Department of Health and Children that the making of applications to the GCVU in respect of prospective Health Service Executive (HSE) staff or HSE-funded staff is a matter for the HSE.

In view of the circumstances outlined above, I can only suggest that the person in question seeks clarification from the HSE concerning the status of the vetting application.
