Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 December 2014
249. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Defence the reason a person (details supplied) in County Limerick did not pass to the next round to be considered for placement in the Naval Service and Army; if the person will be provided with the information regarding their application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48840/14]
View answerThe position is that it is a matter for the Military Authorities to select candidates based on specific criteria and in accordance with Defence Force Regulations for positions in the Defence Forces. In relation to this particular case, the Military Authorities have advised that the individual referred to did not satisfy the requirements for enlistment in the Permanent Defence Force.
I am unable to comment any further on this matter, as it is the policy of the Department of Defence to treat all applications for enlistment in the Defence Forces as strictly private and confidential.
