Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy was a member of the Government and knows they have to go to the Government first. He does know that. This affects every member of the Defence Forces. It really does. Every member of the Defence Forces is a stakeholder in this now in terms of the implications of the report and the follow-up action. I believe that we should try to facilitate an initial debate after the Government decision and after the publication of the report. Subsequently there is going to be further engagement. This is not going to be a report that gets published and is left at that. The Deputy should not be under any illusions about that.
