Criminal Records/Convictions

Applicants need to be aware that it is the policy of the organisation in all cases to obtain a Garda Vetting Disclosure on each prospective employee before they commence their employment with the organisation. This check will only be commenced if you are successful at interview.

If you are shortlisted for interview, you will be asked to complete a Self-Declaration, which will ask you to disclose relevant convictions and cautions.

In general, you do not have to disclose a spent conviction, however, the non-disclosure regime under the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016 does not apply to employment relating to children or vulnerable adults. (View Website)

Please note that before any prospective employee can commence working with us, it is the requirement of the organisation to obtain a Garda Vetting Certificate in line with the Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016.

The National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012-2016 provide that certain spent cautions and convictions are “protected” and are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Garda website.
