Non-conviction

Kingneptune

Anybody have any knowledge or experience on this.
I may be applying for a job in dublin airport and i had a court appearance over a year ago. The case was struck out. With regards to the vetting form, do i need to declare this appearance on the form or will it not show up during the vetting process.
Thanks for any advice

If it was struck out its a none runner .I would not say a thing .

Thanks a mill! Might just give it a go. Another twist however is that my father works for the company and doesnt know about the court case

There will be various records of the case having been commenced. A case being 'struck out' formally means that no Court Order was made in it, so there will be no order in existence - the usual way of identifying the case outcome.

As has been noted correctly above there will likely be garda records of the incident, probably in paper and other forms. The way I understand PULSE, once a case is finalised in this way it is not 'active' so to speak and is not included with those cases which are convictions/probation act orders.

In the situation you describe, there are no circumstances in which a check against criminal record or similar would disclose either the fact of an arrest (if indeed there was any arrest), the fact of court appearances, or the fact that no order was made ultimately.

You seem to know what your talking about. This info is much appreciated. Been streesing over it. And no there was no arrest

Depends on the wording of the vet form. If it asks "have you ever been charged with a criminal offence", then the answer is yes. Otherwise, no.
