If all the form is asking for is convictions, and you are sure weren't convicted then you don't need to include it.

OP , you would do better to post your question on the Garda Recruitment forum. Be aware that several people on there in the past did not disclose these sort of 'issues' and that brought their applications to a screeching halt.

If you had a solicitor in the District Court ask him/her

If not check with the District Court Clerk.

Even if the Probations Act was applied, while this is not a conviction it may be shown on the Garda Vetting records.

For most purposes this is the case. The "poor box" outcome is not deleted though. And assuming you're arrested, you'll always have an arrest record.

If you're applying to be say, an army officer or a garda, you'll most likely have your application refused. A bad credit rating will have a similar effect.

I don't think the vetting form refers to her applying to join the gardai, she may be seeking work in an area which requires Garda vetting such as childcare etc, if the form asks about convictions and you were not convicted, then you have no convictions. The Garda application process would consider many things when accessing suitability, and not just a conviction which is what this form is asking!

the Garda vetting form the op is on about is probally for a job that requires vetting such as childcare etc, if the form asks for details of convictions and she has none then that is the correct answer to put down, if they asked if you were ever arrested then that's entirely different and a question likely to be asked of a Garda applicant.
