Exclusions from this training
The following list is not definitive and may be extended, if you are unsure if your current choice of profession may exclude you - please inquire. The following choice of professions limits potential progress beyond Druí Dalta for many and will automatically disqualify certain applicants from consideration:
If you are currently employed in or as -
Politician; county councillor, elected member of government.
Legal; judge, solicitor and barrister.
Army, prison, navy and air force and associated supply industries.

Some professions are oath bound for life, others contract bound for life, some are restricted by 'state secrets acts' and so on and unless these oaths etc are proved invalid - they stand and may preclude advanced training with us even if there has been a 'job' change. So, even though people may leave a 'profession with legal ties' the exact nature of those ties and their restrictions to future actions / practices etc may prevent advanced training with us. Each applicant needs clarity on this and so do we.
