Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I assure the Deputy that I will not be hiding behind anything, anybody or any document.

I will be very straight with the people who made the protected disclosures and I will give them the opportunity to meet me. Two of them have already taken up that offer. I met them and gave them ample opportunities to raise these. Parallel to the actions of the independent reviewer, the Health and Safety Authority, HSA, also visited the Air Corps and issued a list of instructions and procedures. The Defence Forces have been in constant contact with the HSA and are carrying out all of these required actions. One thing I was not going to do was to limit the reviewer's terms of reference which I set out to be as broad as possible so that he would be able to investigate all aspects of any allegations made.
