Niall Finch:
No, you don't need passport photos

Nuala:
You don't need passport photos, just need to fill in your name and all the addresses you have lived in. It's simple to do (but they are royal sticklers for you getting every detail correct, and you've to put your middle name everywhere).

And I have a feeling that you cannot be Garda vetted if you have lived outside of Ireland unless you also supply equivalent police clearance from that country.

CormacR:
The form looks like it's been drawn in crayon

--- Quote from: Peter O'Sullivan on April 29, 2013, 19:32:36 ---I thought Garda vetting was one of those daft schemes that never worked because the Gardai have no interest in vetting people and even less interest in more paperwork. From an outdoor education centre manager I've hear it doesn't work because people can be vetted under slight variations of their name and not show up on the system as having done anything wrong.

This is the start of a multi-page rant against an ever prevalent belief that more paperwork makes people safer, but I'll cut it down to one question.

What are people being vetted for and what show up?

By the way I have done my child protection course with Limerick sports partnership, good course.

That may be..... but its necessary for EVERYTHING now and is a pain.. earlier u get the forms in the earlier they come back....

kmck:
To be honest the system is a big load of horse manure, I've been gardai vetted three times including one involving background interviews so why am I being asked every single time I go to a new organisation that I need another check which can due to the back log take 6 months? In England you get a police check then have a card that is valid for a certain length of time then it has to be renewed. Ireland get checked once for an organisation and that's it you're done for life
