The Women of Honour group has asked Taoiseach Leo Varadkar for a meeting to discuss removing Micheál Martin from the current process of setting up the Defence Forces tribunal.

The group believes the Tánaiste's role as Defence Minister conflicts with the reasons for the tribunal in the first place, to examine sexual, physical and emotional abuse within the ranks.
