Army promises action on any soldiers who used African prostitutes

THE head of the Defence Forces said any soldier found guilty of using prostitutes in East Africa would be dealt with forcefully. Lieutenant General Colm Mangan described the allegations, involving a 15-year-old prostitute as an unseemly incident.

“There will be no action taken until the investigation is complete. It is being investigated by the military police” he said.

He said prior to the investigation they sent out a legal officer to assess the situation on the ground in Eritrea, in Africa.
