Jack Chambers tells minister he is in 'bunker of denial' regarding struggles faced by Defence Forces

The Minister of State for Defence has been accused of being “in a bunker of denial” when it comes to the hardships endured by members of the Defence Forces.

The accusation was made in the Dáil this morning after Paul Kehoe rejected claims made by the former head social worker for the Defence Forces, who told the Irish Examiner that the Department of Defence repeatedly ignored his warnings.
