Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not aware of a specific time limit for how long an application form spends in the naval base in Haulbowline or in Kilkenny but I would encourage the lad to go to the personnel section if his personal circumstances are on his application for transfer.

I cannot enquire into specific cases but I made a general enquiry. There has to be a suitable vacancy in Kilkenny and there cannot be a shortage of personnel in the place the person wants to leave.
