Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Independent)

A standard form is available but not everybody has access to a computer or is computer literate. Has the Minister of State discussed an online version of the application form with the Local Government Computer Services Board or the County and City Managers' Association? Significant administrative time could be saved if such access was provided. As public representatives, we often help applicants to fill out the form and we could, therefore, do it online for them. It would be a useful way to save staff time.
