A proposal for the up-ranking of a particular appointment in the Naval Service and the case for and the implications thereof is currently being considered by the Department. No decision has yet been made in this regard.
The CS4 represents the Employment Control Framework for the Defence Forces, and any amendment thereto will also require engagement with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. At this time therefore no decision has been made to amend the relevant Defence Forces Regulation.
