Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In late November 2016, the interim recommendations and observations from the independent third party were submitted to me and, in December, I asked that these be passed to the military authorities for immediate action and response. On 7 January 2017, the Department received a response from the military authorities outlining the actions under way and this has been forwarded to the independent reviewer for consideration. The reviewer will consider this material and determine the next steps required to finalise his review.

I will ensure that all recommendations, whether arising from the work of the HSA or the ongoing protected disclosures review, will be acted upon to ensure the safety of the men and women of the Air Corps.
