Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-18
============================================================

Simon Coveney (FG), Cork South-Central

It is very important the review group will have access to all testimonies of people's experiences in the Defence Forces, in the past and currently, as part of its work. If there are non-disclosure legal agreements, we have to figure out how to do that in a way that will allow people to tell their stories but, at the same time, be legally sound. I do not have legal advice to hand regarding that issue, but perhaps I can come back to the Deputy with it.
On the IMG process, I would not say we should or should not put a new IMG process in place in the future. There are two very substantial pieces of work-----
