Committee on Public Petitions and the Ombudsmen
Engagement with the Office of the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces

Mr. Justice Alan Mahon:
Yes, course selection would be involved in a lot of the complaints we get but it would be more to do with somebody feeling he or she should have gotten a place but did not. There is a huge emphasis in the Defence Forces on doing courses and getting qualifications because that is all linked with promotion and so on.
