The National Youth Federation is making an appeal to Justice Minister John O'Donoghue to grant them procedures for garda clearance of their volunteers.

The National Youth Federation is making an appeal to Justice Minister John O'Donoghue to grant them procedures for garda clearance of their volunteers.

A garda clearance would show whether a person being recruited by an organisation dealing with young people is guilty of a crime against children.

However, voluntary groups do not qualify to seek such a clearance for their recruits.

Gearóid Ó Maolmichil of the National Youth Federation said last night that unless something was done swiftly, then the organisation's numbers would drop off.
