The association representing officers in the Defence Forces has said it had no concerns for a member after an academic paper he wrote caused a furore inside the Department of Defence.

The paper, written by Lieutenant (now Captain) Brian Clarke, was included in the official Defence Forces Review 2020, which was published last December.
