All persons recruited into my Department are fully vetted and cleared before they are employed by my Department.

As regards the twelve State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the State bodies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
