134. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the status of an application for Garda Síochána vetting by a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44634/15]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that a vetting application in respect of the person referred to was received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit on 24 September 2015. However, the application was incomplete and returned to the registered organisation concerned for completion.

I am further informed that on 17 November 2015 the application was once again received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit. The application was processed and returned to the registered organisation on 3 December 2015.

It would be advisable for the applicant to contact the registered organisation to ascertain the current position.
