Query – my Husband was asked to get Garda Clearance for Sons Hurling team as he helps train the kids.
Unfortunately 20 years when he was a young man was in bad crowd and up to no good and was found in posession of marjuinna (small amount street value £20). He was 17 when found in possession and this ended up in Court when he was 18 and he was fined, from memory £50 which was paid. I presume possession and a fine is classed as a conviction. He has never been in trouble since, married, children, house and owns his own business.
My question is as this was 20 years ago do you fill this out on the Vetting form? If so, he will opt out of training the kids as he would not like members of the Club knowing his past which he would rather forget.
If the above stays on your record, is it possible to appeal to have your name cleared?
If teenagers only knew how something silly like the above can cause problems in life!
