It will help people get into round 3 who have had no involvement in the process up to that point. I have heard the complaint from members of the Garda reserve who felt they did the best they could but did not get past step 1 or step 2. Then they hear from their neighbour that they had got the garda up the road to fill in their form. Is there anything the Minister can do about this? I am worried that the applications are filled in off site and no one can verify who is actually making the application.
