Irish security clearance

Joe,
You can apply to Garda vetting for security clearance. Maybe get in contact with the US embasy in Ballsbridge Dublin and ask them about security clearance, if you are cleared by an garda siochana you might get US clearance after an interview.

If you have a DUI on your record, that will definitely affect job opportunities and clearance.

Security Clearance's
by: Doc

If you have a clean background, a Security Clearance really is just a check to determine if you can be placed in a secure installation. Keep applying to jobs, as they will grant you clearance if and when you are hired depending on your background.
I knew a man who lost his Secret Clearance for being Drunk while driving, but the man who replaced him had been court-martialed for some offense and was still allowed to have a Secret Clearance. What it boiled down to was the one man was "Drunk" while driving and that was a fact, whereas the other man who had been court-martialed just didn't prove his innocence. That one has bugged me for about 25 years.
Good luck.
