I am pleased to confirm that a ceremony to commission 5 members of the 59th Naval Service Cadet Class as officers of the Permanent Defence Force is scheduled to take place on 16 July 2021 next in Haulbowline, Co Cork.
Earlier this year, on 25th March 2021, the commissioning ceremony of the 96th Cadet class was held at Collins Barracks, Dublin. 75 cadets were commissioned, of which 10 were commissioned as officers in the Air Corps.
No further cadet commissioning ceremonies have, as yet, been scheduled for 2021.
