no, thats the safguarding course, which also is a complete sham too. Sport Ireland govern it and their guidelines are that it is up to each individual organisation if they will accept the same sport ireland cert for another sport. FAI will accept the GAA one (which I found out after the fact). GAA wont accept others. In the FAI safeguarding, they tell you that “this course will be accepted by others, so you wont have to do it again”. In the GAA course, they tell you “you have to do each sport individually, the only way this can be overturned is by having a referendum on it”. And sport Ireland shrug their shoulders and say its up to each organisation. And the courses the exact same with the same stories and scenarios, even going as far as having the same name on the fictional kids who are subs. Jokeshop.
Garda vetting then is a separate thing that you have to do for each individual sport.
May have been answered elsewhere but is there a way to donate to the needs of those arriving? Not in a position to take in people but would happily contribute to those arriving some other way if knew where to direct it?
Mrs ccha had a Ukrainian grandad into school with his newly arrived granddaughter yesterday to get registered. He was back today to confirm it along with a photograph of her in the uniform. She will be in on Monday.
It is moving quickly. The world changes and people adapt
Haven’t heard anything either. I think they are using existing Ukrainian connections first but I expect they’ll be in touch for vetting in the coming days.
