I am informed by the Garda authorities that the current average turnaround time for the processing of properly completed vetting application forms is approximately four to five weeks from date of receipt by the Garda Central Vetting Unit. Departures from this average processing time occur when it is necessary for the Garda Central Vetting Unit to make further, more detailed inquiries, due to incomplete applications having being submitted.
