    It must have, I went to an information briefing a few months ago for the naval service which was held in Cathal Brugha barracks and they told us that you have to go all the way to Cork to do it. 
    Maybe you're thinking about the army, I know they will try and facilitate you as close to home as possible.

    Avoid it if you have any sense. Corrupt organisation run my dinosaurs... and that's not even getting into the pay. If you want a military career then I would suggest getting a plane to the UK.
