In Mr. Justice Mahon's report for 2020, he said that there has been an increase in the number of bullying-type complaints. He suggests that this is not necessarily because there is an increase of incidents of bullying in the Defence Forces in recent times, rather that it is because of a greater awareness generally of such activity and the availability of a more receptive and sensitive grievance process when it occurs. What leads him to believe this is the case?
