The Minister for Defence says he will “make a full statement” this week on alleged intimidation, harassment, discrimination, sexual assault and attempted rape of women in the Defence Forces over three decades.
It's after 4 women told RTE documentary Women of Honour of alleged sexual abuse during their time serving in the Defence Forces.
The revelations have been labelled 'deeply disturbing' by Sinn Fein, and 'toxic' by the Social Democrats.
