Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am aware that a number of litigation cases are pending, dating from the period since 1991. Two protected disclosures were received in my Department in December 2015 and one was received in January 2016. Since my appointment in May 2016, I appointed independent individuals to carry out a review. The first felt he had not the qualifications to carry out the review so another was appointed in late August or early September.

That person submitted an interim review in late November. I have corresponded with the Defence Forces on all of these issues, which I take seriously because they affect the health and welfare of members of the Defence Forces, specifically the Air Corps.
