The terms of reference for a new judge-led tribunal of inquiry to examine bullying, sexual harassment and misconduct in the Defence Forces are due to come to Cabinet on Tuesday.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin committed to setting up a statutory inquiry to investigate whether there have been systemic failures in the complaints system within the Defence Forces following the report of the Independent Review Group last year.
