Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

Has the Tánaiste met the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces to discuss the current issues? What interim measures will be put in place pending the inquiry to improve existing complaints procedures?
It was really disappointing, and that is probably not a strong enough word, that the Women of Honour did not see the terms of reference before they were published. The Tánaiste met them in November and it was reported there were frank discussions. I know there is a process in place now but if the Tánaiste reflects on that meeting, does he feel that he is meeting all of the requests that the Women of Honour put to him as the Minister?
