Women of Honour want military police removed from sex assault probes in Defence Forces

The Women of Honour group have renewed calls for an inquiry amid further allegations that an army officer tried to grope a female soldier following a gathering in the summer of 2020.

A group of serving and former female members of the Defence Forces have renewed calls for a statutory inquiry into abuse cases after details emerged of another sex assault investigation being launched within the army.

The Women of Honour have likened the way the Defence Forces handles complaints to the same way the Catholic Church handled child sex abuse claims.
