Micheal Martin (Stefan Rousseau/PA)

The Women of Honour group has expressed outrage over a “flippant remark” from Tánaiste Micheal Martin in response to its request to expand the terms of reference at a tribunal of inquiry into the Defence Forces.

The tribunal of inquiry will examine the effectiveness of the complaints processes in the Defence Forces in respect of workplace incidents relating to discrimination, bullying, harassment, sexual assault and rape.
