It is therefore in your own interest to provide a detailed and accurate account of your qualifications/experience in your application. Security Clearance You will be required to complete and return a Garda eVetting form should you come under consideration for appointment. This form will be forwarded to An Garda Síochána for security checks on all Irish and Northern Irish addresses at which you resided. If you have lived/worked in a country outside the Republic of Ireland for more than 6 months during the last 5 years, it is mandatory for you to furnish a Police Clearance Certificate from those countries stating that you have no convictions recorded against you while residing there. You will need to provide a separate Police Clearance Certificate for each country you have resided in. Clearance must be dated after the date you left the country. It is your responsibility to seek security clearances in a timely fashion as this can be a lengthy process.
