Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 June 2010
397 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Defence if personnel within the Naval Service can transfer to the Permanent Defence Forces; the procedure that is in place to facilitate this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22987/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Military authorities that personnel from the Naval Service are no different to any other Service or Formation within the Defence Forces in that they may apply for transfers within the organisation.
All transfer requests are considered on an individual basis by the Unit Commander and the Formation Commander of the applicant in light of personnel strengths and exigencies of the service, in addition to the personal circumstances of individual applications.
