View answerOfficials in my Department have met personally with two individuals and spoken to a third on the phone, who have recounted their experiences working within the Defence Forces. While I cannot go into the detail of these meetings for reasons of confidentiality, I know that the individuals were met and treated in a sympathetic manner and given an opportunity to provide their detail.
