Prior to recommending any candidate for appointment to this position the Office of Public Works will make all such enquiries that are deemed necessary to determine the suitability of that candidate. Until all stages of the recruitment process have been fully completed a final determination cannot be made nor can it be deemed or inferred that such a determination has been made. Should the person recommended for appointment decline, or having accepted it, relinquish it, the Office of Public Works may at its discretion, select and recommend another person for appointment on the results of this selection process. Feedback Feedback will be available on request after each stage of the selection process. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Deeming of Candidature to be withdrawn Candidates who do not attend for interview where and when required by the Office of Public Works, or who do not, when requested, furnish such evidence, as the Office of Public Works require, in regard to any matter relevant to their candidature, will have no further claim to consideration. 2. Garda Clearance/Security All candidates in determining their suitability will be required to take part in Garda Vetting in advance of being awarded a Seasonal Contract of employment. Candidates who are deemed suitable for a Seasonal Contract will be sent a Garda Vetting application form (NVB a1) via email. Candidates will be required to present in person, to the nominated OPW site manager with the completed form along with original documentation to verify proof of their Photographic Identification and proof of current address. Once this information is received in our Head Office, the candidate will be sent an email to complete a more detailed application for the National Vetting Bureau. Please note: Any costs associated with this process will be at the candidates own expense. In some cases costs may be substantial where clearance is required from other countries, however, once a person has clearance from whatever country they have resided in this can then be used in any Garda Vetting process they may wish to engage in going forward. Overseas Clearance (Police Certificate) If you lived outside the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland while you were over 18 yrs old for a period of 6 months or more you are required to provide an Overseas Clearance for each of the countries in which you have resided. Your security clearance must be dated after you departed that country and cover the entire period of your residency. Seeking clearance from other countries is the responsibility of the applicant and all expenses incurred in the process are at the expense of the applicant. It is a process that can take an amount of time. We recommend that the applicant retains the original of this document. For OPW purposes an applicant’s Garda Vetting will not be considered completed, where applicable, until we receive the relevant Overseas Clearance.
