The two main groups representing survivors of abuse and mistreatment in the Defence Forces have rejected the terms of reference for an upcoming tribunal.

The Canary Movement and the Women of Honour group, who represent more than 350 abuse survivors between them, say the tribunal’s remit is “too narrow and too vague”.
