The Government is coming under increased pressure to open a public tribunal into allegations of abuse in the defence forces.
The Women of Honor Group meets with both the Taoiseach and Tanaiste today to set out the terms of reference it wants for the inquiry into allegations of bullying and sexual abuse of females in the force.
Spokesperson for Women of Honor and retired Army Captain Diane Byrne, says a tribunal is hugely important.
We're not trying to be difficult, we're looking at this from a very measured and very balanced way.
This is what is needed to be done to bring the Defence Forces to a place where it needs to be which is a safe and fair Defence Forces for generations to come.
As it stands the Defence Forces are on its needs. people are leaving in droves, there isn't an appetite to stay and their inst a belief to stay anymore.
