Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 March 2014
155. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Defence if the website of the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces is being maintained and updated on a regular basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11015/14]
View answerThe office of Ombudsman for the Defence Forces (ODF) was established as an independent statutory office, under the Ombudsman (Defence Forces) Act 2004. The ODF has full independence and autonomy in the discharge of his statutory functions.
I am advised by the ODF that the website is reviewed periodically as deemed necessary by the Ombudsman. I am further advised that the most recent update was towards the latter end of 2013.
