Republic of Ireland, or in any other jurisdiction.

8. I have never been convicted in the Republic of Ireland of an offence triable on
indictment, (other than a spent conviction within the meaning of section 5 of the Criminal
Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016).1
9. I have never been convicted in another jurisdiction of an offence which, if carried out in
the Republic of Ireland, would constitute an offence triable on indictment.
10. I understand that the Registration Board has the right to verify or to ask me to verify any

If you are unsure whether you have been convicted of an offence which is triable on indictment in Ireland (or
would be if the offence had been committed here), you should take your own legal advice. If you do not disclose
a conviction which you should have disclosed, you may be prosecuted.

You do not have to disclose convictions which are spent, within the meaning of section 5 of the Criminal Justice
(Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures Act 2016). You should take legal advice in relation to when convictions
are spent. If you do not disclose a conviction which you should have disclosed, you may be prosecuted.
