Mr. Justice Alan Mahon:

There is probably more work to be done. I do not monitor the situation very closely. My ability to monitor is based on how many complaints we get. Anecdotally, I have heard reports of things being much improved in the Defence Forces in terms of interpersonal behaviour. While five, ten or 20 years ago, victims of sexual misbehaviour, in particular, were probably not facilitated in making complaints and were perhaps told that this type of thing does not happen in the Army, I think and would expect that has changed hugely. I know everyone now takes interpersonal misbehaviour seriously.
