I have taken a personal interest in bullying and harassment, be it sexual or otherwise. Since my appointment in May 2016, I have informed the general staff that all allegations are to be dealt with to the fullest. They are to be given every support possible and their cases must be dealt with speedily. If the Defence Forces do not deal with allegations speedily, others will be discouraged from making allegations or reports of any form of harassment. I want anyone who has a case or wants to bring any sort of issue surrounding harassment to the fore to feel comfortable and not threatened in any way by bringing any sort of complaint forward, which is something I am working on.
