Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Role and Functions: Ombudsman for the Defence Forces
4:35 pm
Mr. Tony McCourt:
I should say generally my recommendations are implemented. It would be in a very small minority of cases that the Minister for Defence would not accept my recommendations, and invariably he expresses his reasons for not doing so. Clearly, as an ombudsman I would welcome any additional measures that might be taken to increase the percentage of cases in which the Minister would accept my recommendation. That would be a matter for changes in legislation.
