The Defence Forces tribunal terms of reference may well have been approved by Cabinet but there is “some way to go” before survivors groups such as the Women of Honour (WoH) are satisfied that they will be effective.

However, they have been completely rejected by the Canary Movement, which is the biggest group of survivors and victims of abuse and mistreatment.
