What's your jobs got to do with vetting?
I don't know, I was just reading through what's involved in getting security clearance in other countries, obviously it's not guaranteed that that's what they look at here.
The common theme in each country I looked at was just making sure that you would not be vulnerable to blackmail or bribery.
One of the things that came up was work history either last 10years, 5 years or in the US since the age of 16! And in the US they ring every single employer and sometimes interview them face to face but that's for high level security clearance. They also check your credit history, and in the US for high level clearance they verify your entire medical history!
It's just that if it was like regular vetting, plus spent convictions and a quick scan of the pulse system I cannot see what the hold up would be?
The only thing that worries me about my vetting is my poor credit rating. Years of a misspent youth have it pretty poor. Although I am at a point where I’ve paid most things back it’s just taken me a long time

I think the key thing to remember (if they even do check it in Ireland - I really don't know) is that you are older, wiser and have spent your time clearing it. It's not like you built up and then walked away from a massive credit card debt and said screw it. Or left the ESB hanging for a couple of thousand and moved home. I'm just guessing because I'm bored and stressed out that my own vetting is taking forever! It's all pure speculation. I wouldn't worry.0 -

I know but I’ve read loads mention it. Though I’m a civil servant in the north at the minute and it’s never effected me getting any internal posts etc maybe just overthinking it0 -

Should be in your messages, just stating the date and time you’re due in. That’s all I printed anyway and they took it! Good luck
