Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (27 Jan 2022)

Mick Barry: Why did the Women of Honour group feel they had no alternative but to walk out of a meeting with the Minister on Tuesday?

For example, one woman with 31 years' service has stated that 27 of those years were stained with harassment, bullying and inappropriate remarks. She has also said she suffered an attempted rape. These women want a statutory inquiry. They want the power to compel witnesses. They want to see the men who did these things to them be made...

Youth Mental Health: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

Mick Barry: I was reading some of the online debate about the situation with CAMHS in south Kerry. One comment struck me as if I had been punched on the nose.

The Taoiseach is standing over that....
