Where, by reason of the number of persons seeking admission to the competition and the standard of knowledge, training or experience in general of such persons, Galway City Council consider that it would be reasonable not to admit all the persons to the competition, Galway City Council may admit to the competition only persons who appear likely to them to attain in the competition a standard sufficient for selection and recommendation for appointment.

It is important therefore, for you to note the onus is on you to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for the competition before attending for interview. If you do not meet these essential entry requirements but nevertheless attend for interview you will be putting yourself to unnecessary expense, as Galway City Council will not be responsible for refunding any expenses incurred.
