163 denied HSE posts after failing garda vetting
Details obtained by the Irish Examiner under Freedom of Information confirmed that, between January 2008 and December 2010, a total of 52,667 HSE applications were sent to the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU). Of these, 44,033 were sent for vetting.
The HSE has confirmed that 163 people were barred from taking posts because of a previous conviction or non-conviction deemed serious enough to be a potential threat to vulnerable members of the public.
