- Delays incurred where the Council is required to return an incorrectly completed registration application form
- Delays incurred where the Council is required to return
an incorrectly completed Garda Vetting application form to the applicant - Delays with the Garda vetting/police disclosure process
which can run to several months in individual cases - Backlogs of registration applications developing in the
Council due to a last minute rush of applications.
