We are told that the Department of Defence has it. Why do the Representative Association of Commissioned Officers, RACO, and the Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative Association, PDFORRA, not have it? I understand that the representative bodies were sent for to be told what was in the commission's report, were promptly dismissed without being given a copy of the report, and do not know what is in it. I am blue in the face, as are Fine Gael Party members. Senator McFadden stands up in the House weekly and supports the Defence Forces, and she is well known for it in Athlone, as is Senator Leyden. This is outrageous. We need the Minister for Defence, an Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, to come to the House and answer.
