Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I assure the Deputy that I get a quarterly report from the Chief of Staff regarding bullying and harassment cases. I would not know all of the individual cases.

As the Deputy will understand, a large number of cases will be ongoing at any one time because the Defence Forces are a large organisation. While I do not intend to carry out a review of the procedures in place, I take a personal interest in this matter as I wish to ensure all those who make a complaint are dealt with fairly and speedily and in a manner that does not discourage others from making any form of complaint. I want people to feel comfortable and not in any way threatened when making a complaint. Complaints must be taken seriously and dealt with as swiftly as possible. If the Deputy wishes me to follow up on any particular case, he should bring it to my attention and I will have no problem doing so.
