    Hi,

    I have to questons.

    1. I am applying for a course that requires garda vetting.I have been to court twice in my life. One about 3 years ago and another sometime early this year. The most recent one I got a fine of 100 euro for drunken disorderly. I never paid the fine so there is a warrant out for my arrest for last three months. Will I fail garda vetting because of this?

    2. I dont know exact dates of my court appearences. I went to a garda station earlier today and he said he cant give out that information. He said for me to refresh my memory..... How the hell am i to fill out the form if I cant get confirmation of court dates?

    Thanks!

    1. Yes, Garda vetting brings up prosecutions and convictions. This doesn't mean you won't still get the job, of course.


    2. Are you in Dublin?

    If you are in Dublin, go to Áras Uí Dhálaigh on Inns Quay, they will be able to help you pay the fine and advise you about the warrant. Don't ignore this!

    Out of interest, were you informed about the bench warrant by a Garda prior to today?

    Hi,

    Thanks for reply

    Yes I am in Dublin and received a letter about warrant. I am refusing to pay the warrant as I did not deserve it.


    Anyway in relation to question 2 How do I find out my previous court dates? One was this year but other one was about 3 years back.

    Thanks

    Surely there are more sensible ways of registering your displeasure? 'I don't deserve it' could be the theme song in any court.

    The folks in Áras Uí Dhálaigh will be able to help you with that info.

    Could have been worse, you might have been arrested!

    Is Garda vetting ROI only?

    They ask for all previous addresses, including those abroad, presumably they check with foreign agencies.

    Thanks for that. Lets say you said you were never abroad how would they know?

    I say that as I live in Belgium and if I need a police report I go to my local town hall and within 30 seconds I have a print out of my civil file for 50 cents which is valid for a future employer.

    Just a view from the outside.
