The Women of Honour group has welcomed indications from Tánaiste Micheál Martin that there will be a full public inquiry into the Defence Forces – but said it wants to know “exactly what that means”.

The support group for former and current female Defence Force members who allege they were abused in the military has been calling for a tribunal of inquiry.
