Irish government work.. security checks?

Kali · 2007-07-17 12:39:22

Do any of the Irish government agencies require security checks or clearances before starting work on confidential data? And are security cleared candidates preferred for those positions? I see it advertised a lot in the UK for MOD, Home Office and HMRC etc., but have never seen an equivalent in Ireland. Any information…

The CSO asked me to sign a form for them to carry out CRB checks on me, no such form with the revenue commissioners.

There's something like a 6 week vetting period before employee can start
in certain depts/offices.

Especially such offices as Dept of Social Welfare and Children etc.
Places where employees could be privy to sensitive or confidential info.
