IS IT LEGAL IN IRELAND TO DO MY OWN CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ONLINE ON PEOPLE OR DO I HAVE TO GO TO THE GUARDS?

There's nothing illegal about googling someone if that's what you mean.

What kind of criminal background checks online are you considering ?

Its not possible to do a background check in this country other than to Google the person as Reloc8 says, to see if they are on Facebook etc.

The Gardai will not entertain such a request.
