Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Role and Functions: Ombudsman for the Defence Forces

4:35 pm

Mr. Tony McCourt:

I refer to page 19 of the 2012 report, wherein cases are recorded in one of the pie charts under "cases by military formation". In these cases, the various formations of the Defence Forces that are listed and the number of complaints recorded in each of them does not take account of the numerical strength of the formation. Therefore it may not entirely reflect the issues that the Deputy is raising. There was nothing particularly striking that came to mind in reviewing those statistics and nothing that would cause me any great alarm or concern.
