The Women of Honour group seeking a statutory inquiry into sexual abuse in the Defence Forces has described a meeting with Tánaiste and Defence Minister Micheál Martin as "constructive".

Spokesperson Karina Molloy said she received an assurance from Mr Martin that he would "adhere" to a recommendation to hold such an inquiry if it was backed by his fellow ministers in Cabinet.
