Will the Minister confirm that in the years 1988, 1989 and 1990 — Deputy Byrne asked the Minister for the numbers for the past five years — no NCO was promoted? Will he accept that this is a very disappointing record and that urgent attention by his Department is required to ensure that the pattern is redressed? While I accept that a better picture is emerging in so far as there are 24 NCOs in college at present will the Minister accept that this was the most important area, from the point of view of the status of NCOs within the Defence forces, dealt with in the Gleeson report? Will he confirm if an immediate review of the promotion procedures for NCOs, as recommended in the report of the Gleeson Commission, paragraph 11.2.18, took place and was acted upon?
