I am informed by the Garda Authorities that a vetting application was received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) in respect of the person concerned and that it is currently being processed.

A response will issue to the registered organisation in due course. All organisations registered with the GCVU are aware of the time taken to process applications and have been advised to factor this into their recruitment and selection process. I am informed that the current processing time is an average of 9 weeks.
