    This morning I was offered a job that will involve working for a UK based company on a UK contract based in the UK but also working in Ireland as well, I'd technically be a UK worker but spending 50% of my time in Ireland or something like that.

    Due to the nature of the job I will need to have an Enhanced DBS check in the UK which is absolutely no problem from when I've lived in the UK before and I can get that sorted out rather easy and supply all of the documents they're asking for, even if it's a bit awkward.

    However UK based head office are asking for an Irish DBS check as well for my time in Ireland - how would they go about getting one, does the employer have to ask for it or the employee?

    Does the UK check include police getting and a credit check?

    It includes a Police Vetting check in the UK.

    However since I have only been in the UK for a small part of my adult life since the majority of it has been here in Ireland, they want to also check my Irish Record as well, because I have been resident here for most of the last 15 years.

    I have looked at Garda vetting but it seems hard for a UK employer to get the Gardai to do that?
