Both the Department of Defence and its former ministers must be included in the statutory investigation into systemic failures in the Defence Forces’ complaints procedures, according to a member of the Women of Honour group.

The investigation which is to be established was included in a list of recommendations made by the independent review group set up to examine gender-based violence, harassment and bullying in the Defence Forces.
