First of all, I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. Women of Honour emailed my office yesterday, requesting a meeting with me, which I will facilitate. The Minister for Defence is also facilitating a meeting and I believe there has been interaction and he had offered a date. That is my understanding. He will be meeting the representatives. All members of the Defence Forces have a right to be treated with respect, equality and dignity and to carry out their duties free from any form of sexual harassment or bullying. We must facilitate the truth on this issue. I fully agree with the Deputy in that respect and I will do what I can to make sure that happens.
