Amharc ar fhreagraIt is not possible to provide the Deputy with the number of informal complaints relating to sexual harassment made by Defence Forces personnel. The informal complaints procedure is by its nature, not recorded. This procedure facilitates appropriate informal interventions and approaches to be made to enable resolution of complaints at the lowest level.
