As of 28 November 2014 (the latest date for which figures are available), there had been 7,303 applications for the Permanent Defence Force and 2,146 applications for the Reserve Defence Force. 443 recruits have been attested to the Permanent Defence Force of which 380 remain in training. 152 recruits have been inducted to the Reserve Defence Force for the same period. With regard to the number of applications received by county, I am advised by the military authorities that this information is not readily available and due to the volume of applications received it is not practical to produce it without adverse impact on other necessary work.
