In order to do this adults and anyone 16 or over  in the house will have to complete an online vetting form. We will be contacting people in the next week or two to host players so we would ask especially all our Under 12/13/14/15 parents to help us out in this. We thank the good number of families who have come forward already and now we need more to do so. To those who have already committed to being a host family get ahead of the possie and start the vetting procedure   at http://www.gaa.ie/the-gaa/child-welfare-and-protection/vetting  Here it clearly explains what anyone over the age of 16 has to do to get vetted.
