A large group of Opposition parties and Independents have written to the Taoiseach to “completely reject” the proposed Women of Honour review.

The letter signed by Aontú, the Labour Party, the Social Democrats, and People Before Profit, as well as Independent TDs and senators, calls on the Government to establish a fully independent and external Commission of Investigation into bullying, discrimination, and sexual violence in the Defence Forces.
