Committee on Public Petitions

Annual Reports from 2017 to 2020 and Related Matters: Ombudsman for the Defence Forces

Mr. Justice Alan Mahon:

We can ask for follow-up. We would get some sort of feedback but it would be much further down the road. Many of the recommendations require a lot of work on the part of the Minister and the Defence Forces, so it could be a year or 18 months later by the time I could expect to find out if the recommendations have actually been implemented. Some of the recommendations might require the amendment of Defence Forces regulations or legislation. That can take much longer.
