This question refers to a clause in the Defence Act and subsequent regulations which were overturned and amended 30 years ago whereby the President could forcefully retire a person without that person having any right to a hearing or court martial or even knowing the circumstances against him or her. In light of the fact that the Minister has furnished me with the information that in the entire history of the Defence Forces only two individuals were ever dismissed under this clause and that it was amended 30 years ago, would the Minister revisit those cases on an independent basis to achieve justice for the people at the heart of them?
