Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 October 2012
443. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Defence with reference to his direction to the military authorities in September 2011, if he will arrange for promotions of Reserve Defence Forces Officers; the number promoted to date; the date of each promotion and the appointment filled and the number remaining to be filled arising from the interviews held. [41567/12]
View answerI am advised by the military authorities that competitive interviews are being conducted to fill selected vacancies up to the authorised levels of 70% of the permitted RDF officer strength. The Deputy should also be aware that the value for money report on the RDF is expected to be completed shortly and that future decisions on promotions will have to reflect any relevant recommendations that this report may contain. The detailed information requested by the Deputy in respect of the number promoted to date; the date of each promotion, the appointment filled and the number remaining to be filled arising from the interviews held, is contained in the table.
