Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Defence

The Military Authorities have informed me that an investigation was initiated on the afternoon of the 12th April 2018 following the discovery, earlier that day, of a drilled hole in the door of a female changing area on the Naval Base.

I have requested further information on the investigation and will revert to the Deputy as soon as possible.
