Congratulations on clearing the backlog without new resources.
Can we talk about lessons that may have been learned in light of the RTÉ documentary "Women of Honour"? The allegations of gender-based discrimination and violence in our Defence Forces were appalling and extremely worrying.
Without mentioning any names, did Mr. Justice Mahon ever consider or make findings of any allegations of discrimination or sexual assault or a related offence that subsequently arose in connection with Women of Honour? Has he ever met with any of these complainants?
