Please note the GAA's new Garda Vetting process which has gone live from the 4th April 2022
GAA Garda Vetting Applications will Now be done through "FOIREANN"
The GAA has a long established principle of vetting any person who, on our behalf, works with children or vulnerable adults in our Association.
This principle is enshrined in rule through our Code of of Behaviour (Underage) and has become part of the overall recruitment and selection process for those who wish to work with us in the GAA, in a voluntary or paid role!
Who needs to be vetted?
The National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 - 2016 commenced on 29th April 2016 and from that date the Act provides a legislative basis for the mandatory vetting of persons who wish to undertake certain activities relating to children or vulnerable persons.
In the GAA any person who carries out a role of responsibility such as coaching, managing or training underage teams or indeed adult teams that contain any player under 18 yrs. of age must be vetted.
It also applies to organising underage activities or refereeing underage games.
