============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

We will amend the Defence Act 1954 to provide a legislative basis for allegations of any type of sexual assault in the Defence Forces to be referred to An Garda Síochána. We will also set up a non-statutory inquiry into the practice and process of medical boarding and in respect of issues pertaining to suicide. I envisage taking expert bodies in to assess that issue in a professional way, and those who have expertise in that field.
