The Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) provides employment vetting for a large number of organisations in Ireland registered with the Gardaí for this purpose and which employ persons in a full-time, part-time, voluntary or training capacity to positions where they would have substantial, unsupervised access to children and/or vulnerable adults.

I am informed by the Garda Authorities that a vetting application in respect of the person referred to was received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit on 24 March 2010. The application is being processed at present and a response will issue in due course.
