I too will raise the report into bullying and sexual harassment in the Defence Forces. The report was damning and deeply disturbing and found that the armed forces "barely tolerates women" and that there was "a discernible pattern of rape and sexual assault". Moreover, it was a complete vindication of the Women of Honour group and all who were brave enough to speak up. What guarantees do survivors, serving members of the Defence Forces and the public have that things will change?
