Gardaí are to review how they handled abuse allegations by serving and past Defence Forces personnel, according to the Women of Honour group.

The group, made up of serving and ex-serving women who raised allegations of sexism, bullying, and sexual attacks in the Defence Forces, said the commitment for a review was made at a “positive” meeting with Garda Commissioner Drew Harris.
