criminal record and foreign travel

[LB25]

my partner has a record for being drunk in public and a danger to himself and others at a music festival and also for possession of a small quantity of spamspamspam. He received a fine in the District Court two years ago.
I want to volunteer abroad, probably in Africa or South America next year.
Will he be able to come with me?
Surely most volunteer agencies do a police check incase you end up working with children but would an offence such as the above make a difference?
I have volunteered before and most of the time it is in orphanges or with children one way or the other.

... but would an offence such as the above make a difference? ...

If your question means will he be given a visa to enter the country concerned with a criminal record that includes a drugs conviction, I don't know, he'd need to contact the embassy or consulate of the country concerned to find out.

On the other hand, if you mean will the volunteer organization give him clearance to work with children, I sincerely hope not, if the Garda check means anything.
