I stay with the same issue. I am asking for details of the Tánaiste's engagement with senior management in the Defence Forces with regard to the number of serving members who have convictions for gender-based violence, and his plans to publish the recent audit carried out by the Defence Forces in this regard. I am asking this question in the context of the Women of Honour documentary in October 2021. Shockingly, the Commission on Defence Forces shockingly made no reference whatsoever to members charged or convicted of serious criminal offences, and it was asked to look at structures.
