I welcome the fact the ombudsman said at the end of his statement that he is happy to report that he continues to receive excellent co-operation from the Department and from the Defence Forces. Things have improved, therefore, but going back to the Women of Honour, while complaints have increased in percentage terms, the complaints are not so severe. Is that right? There are no sexual allegations being made any more.
