The processing of vetting applications is carried out by the Garda National Vetting Bureau in accordance with the provisions of the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012-2016 and other relevant law.  My Department has no role in the processing of individual vetting applications.

I am informed by the Garda Authorities that a vetting application was received by the National Vetting Bureau from a registered organisation in respect of the person referred to on 18 October 2017 and the application process was completed on 25 October 2017.

In the circumstances the person concerned is advised to contact the liaison person in the registered organisation to ascertain the current situation.
