The issue raised by Dr. O'Flaherty was also raised this morning. It concerns a suggestion that there be a cadet-style entry level to the higher level officer corps in An Garda Síochána. The Defence Forces have such a system and they also promote from the ranks to the officer corps. Has the AGSI, Mr. Olson or Mr. Redmond a view on this suggestion?
