Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
295. Deputy Lisa Chambers asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the location in England to which the Garda vetting for a person (details supplied) was sent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37436/18]
View answerThe position in respect of this case was set out in my response to the Deputy's Question No. 482 of 7 September 2018 and has not changed. The vetting application in the case to which the Deputy refers, relates to a person who is currently in an ongoing process for recruitment to An Garda Síochána.
In respect of recruitment to An Garda Síochána, checks secondary to vetting are required to be carried out and these can take some time to be completed. I have been assured by the Garda Authorities that every effort is made to ensure there is no undue delay in the process being carried out. As the recruiting authority An Garda Síochána can liaise directly with applicants in respect of the progress of the recruitment process.
