Lisa Chambers (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I join Deputy Seán Barrett in his very sensible and reasonable suggestion the reports be forwarded, that comments be sought and that those responsible appear before us as an Oireachtas committee to answer the charges. I am heartened by the response around this table. We are all appalled and disgusted at the way the Reserve Defence Force has been treated and there is no doubt that there will be no organisation left in five to ten years if we continue on this trajectory. It needs to be made clear in the letter to the Minister that this is an immediate concern, not one to be kicked down the road, as it has been in the past few years. He needs to answer for this in the next few weeks, not the next few years.
