Yet another Garda Vetting Query

    How do I even start. I have got a job teaching in the UK through a recruitment agency that are wanting garda clearance. Grand. How ever they won't write a letter requesting to send out the form for me to fill out which is supposedly what I have searched online and the gardai have said to me is the procedure.

    The recruitment agency (based in the UK) keep on saying that all they want is a "standard check and not an enhanced one) and that it shouldn't require a letter.The gardai tell me that they will not do one - the agency has to make contact. This has been going on this past month and I'm really fed up as no one seems to know that answer or have a suggestion of going about this.

    I rang my local garda station and they put me on to the seargent and she seemed to know what I was on about. She told me to go into the office and one "of the lads" would give me "the form". So off I went into the office and all I got was sorry the recruitment agency has to contact the central garda vetting unit. Ughhhhh. Back to square one.

    Can someone please help me out with this - point me in the right direction.

    I should note that I only qualified as a teacher this year and in order to do my practice placement - I had to get garda vetted - do you think this maybe would suffice? I know its with a different place - but does anyone know if this would do? The agency don't have a clue regarding this either.

    Many thanks

    Sounds like your job is looking for a police certificate of character. These are provided at local level in Garda stations. Contact your local district headquarters office.

    Thanks for the reply. Hmmm the garda told me that I could only get this done if I wanted a visa or am setting up a business abroad? or is that another form he was on about?

    I believe the policy has recently changed so that they can be issued for foreign employment. He may not be up to date. As i said, contact the district headquarters office.
