Thomas Gould (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have listened to the Tánaiste's comments about questions and I understand the point he is making that he is limited in what he can say because some of these cases are in front of the courts and others are probably being looked at by senior people in the Defence Forces. I understand he is in a particular situation in that regard. I also listened to his comments about trying to change the whole culture within the Defence Forces. It is a huge job of work. I have been a Member of the House more than four years and I remember the first time I met the people involved with the Women of Honour and how they fought and are still fighting for justice, fairness, transparency and the change of culture they believe needs to happen. We can disagree on politics and we have different opinions, but the Tánaiste has a huge job of work to change the whole culture in the Defence Forces.
