Discussions between my Department and the Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative Association (PDFORRA) commenced in April 2006, on revised promotion arrangements for Non-commissioned Officers have been ongoing for some time. The Deputy will appreciate that as discussions are confidential to the parties involved it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the matter at this time.
