The capacity of the Defence Forces toinduct and train recruits was severely impacted by the COVID-19 situation but those aspects of the induction process that could be conducted remotely continued throughout the year and inductions/training have been resumed taking public health guidelines into account. 

In that context General Service and Direct Entry Specialist recruitment for the naval service continue to be ongoing throughout the year.  Additionally applications for the 2020 Cadetship competition are currently being processed.
