Minister for Defence Simon Coveney TD secured government agreement to establish an Independent Review to examine issues relating to sexual misconduct, bullying, harassment and discrimination in the Defence Forces.
The aims of the Independent Review Group are to:
This Independent Review is being undertaken by external and unbiased experts in the field. Its membership is totally independent in undertaking its function and will be given any access it requires to records or personnel, in both the Defence Forces and the department, in order to undertake its role.
Neither the Department of Defence nor the Defence Forces will have any editorial control over the interim or final reports. Such Reports may contain criticisms of systems, policies, procedures and workplace and it is accepted that such criticisms will be a necessary element of the process.
