343. Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú asked the Minister for Defence the number of Defence Forces personnel, by rank that would be required to train a 30 persons Air Corps cadetship class; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39379/26]
View answerThe military authorities have advised that the number of Defence Forces personnel to train a 30 person Air Corps cadetship class is not information that is routinely retained. Cadet class sizes vary depending on the cadet competition type and therefore training is planned on a bespoke basis for each intake. Additionally, details of the operation of the service and training capacity are not provided for security reasons, but each cadet is provided with the highest standard of training in line with EASA standards.
