Garda Vetting Explainer for Volunteers

You must have a current Irish, UK or EU Driving Licence, or a current Passport to be vetted!

Without one of these it will not be possible to apply for a such a volunteer role.

If you are from another country or an Irish person who has spent more that six months in another country you may be asked for Police Clearance from there, as well as Garda Vetting. This depends on the individual policy of the organisation. You will be informed of this requirement during the recruitment process.
