In the making of the original national action plan, my and Ms McManus's former colleague, the current Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, made a representation that was never taken up suggesting that the Army, which has some expertise in training troops in addressing gender-based violence, could be used to train UN forces that were responding to emergencies. Would our guests recommend this for the next plan?
