Vol. 459 No. 7
175 Mr. M. Ahern asked the Minister for Defence the reason members of the seventh potential officers course in the Naval Service cannot be promoted to lieutenant in spite of the recent strong recommendation of the flag officer commanding the Naval Service for their promotions. [18872/95]
The members of 7th Potential Officers' Course were appointed to be officers of the Permanent Defence Force with effect from 26 June 1992. Under the conditions that governed the course the officers in question will not be eligible for promotion to the rank of Captain/Lieutenant (NS) until they have completed five years' commissioned service.
