-----to be included in the tribunal, including those who did not engage? The Tánaiste's answer is "Yes". That is most welcome. The other question relates to the last recommendation on page 91 of the independent review group report commissioned by the Department, which states:
The Minister [that is, the Tánaiste, Deputy Martin] should consider a complete review and replacement of the redress of wrongs procedure under Section 114 of the Defence Act, 1954 and Administrative Instruction A7, Chapter 2, in light of modern HR practice.
The Tánaiste may have answered that as well. If not, could he address that point? Does the Tánaiste believe it to be best practice to have been involved in drawing up the terms of reference if he himself is going to participate in the tribunal as a witness?
