Two organisations are funded by this Department to process vetting applications on behalf of the early years sector. These organisations are Early Childhood Ireland and Barnardos. My Department does not fund Pobal to process vetting applications on behalf of the childcare sector.

My Department does not provide specific funding for Garda vetting however, in 2017 I am providing €713m to support the provision of Tusla's services part of which includes the Garda vetting of new and existing personnel working for the Agency.
