Can someone be refused Garda Clearance needed for Australian residency, if they were arrested and questioned but never charged ?

That depends on whether the Gardai include the arrest and questioning episode on the information that they give to the Australian authorities.

Doubt it very much. Vetting unit in thurles run a check on the person and look at associated charges and summons. In turn they look at the associated court outcomes. Questioned in relation to an incident means nothing.

Even if one was charged and when it went to court was struck out that person has no criminal convictions.

Arrested and questioned means a lot, if seeking admission to some countries.
