Defence Forces 'welcomes' independent review following RTÉ documentary 

The Defence Forces “welcomes and fully supports” an independent review to examine current policies and procedures dealing with workplace issues such as harassment, sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination, the organisation has said.

Minister for Defence Simon Coveney announced the review in the wake of Katie Hannon's documentary 'Women of Honour' which aired on RTÉ Radio on Saturday. In the documentary, female members of the Defence Forces shared alleged incidents of sexual assault and harassment by male colleagues and superiors in the force.
