Hi.
I had case that was struck out related to import of tobacco for personal use quiet some time ago.
Long story short, I was earning €100 a week from my job where my contract was cut from full time during recession and was never on social welfare, which was why the judge probably went easy on me and issued a €50 fine.
I've done 2 vetting background checks on myself prior to applying for a job and they both came back with no record.
I never had problems with financial institutions giving me a loan which I always paid back.
A while back I applied for a new job in finance and passed the interviews after which I had to do a background check.
From information gathered in citizensinformation website I found that I didn't have to disclose my record as I'm not working with vulnerable people or children.
To my surprise they found a conviction on my record, which cost me the new job.
I've done another background check on myself again afterwards which again came back clean.
I've called the Gardai vetting department and they don't know the answer to my question and directed me to contact the court. When I contacted the court, they asked me to deal with this matter with the vetting.
Anyone know why employer can see the record and I can't?
