Ms Jacqui McCrum:

Significant work has been undertaken by the Defence Forces in this area. A sexual ethics and responsible relationships, SERR, training course has been given to almost 3,000 people so far by Professor Louise Crowley from UCC. That will continue so that everyone will have undergone that mandatory training. It takes time to change a culture. The Chief of Staff is fully committed to this, as is the management board.
