One of the complaints we have had here from time to time is the time it takes for people to become attested in the Defence Forces from the time they make an application. It can take months and months. Will the body be looking at that timescale because if someone shows an interest today, and it takes six months or longer for them to be attested, they may have gone off to do something else in the meantime?
