Incredibly powerful contribution by Dr Tom Clonan at the Oireachtas Committee this afternoon. Worth watching the full thing. We really should be ashamed of the way children are treated in this country. Especially those who are going through so much already.

MoD has published its annual sexual offences statistics. They show a big jump in the number of cases being investigated by military police; and still very significant differences in outcome for rape cases at Courts Martial, as compared to Crown Court. centreformilitaryjustice.org.uk/ministry-of-de…

Bleak reading. And so what now? And how quickly? Óglaigh na hÉireann .

Thank you Dr Tom Clonan from all of us #feminists . Women Of Honour #iIrishmilitarymetoo

In the coming days and weeks, I would ask that there be no more ‘Reprisal’ ‘Cancellation’ or Trolling of those of us who have campaigned for decades against Sexual Violence in Defence Forces. Now is time for Unambiguous Leadership from Óglaigh na hÉireann - Seán Clancy needs our support

The Women of Honour would like to commend this brave victim and those involved in the external investigation. This should never have happened, and we feel victims are continuously let down by the DOD. How many more victims before they give us a statutory inquiry?

Thank you Senator Mary Seery Kearney for standing up for survivors today in the Oireachtas. The delay in publication of Dr Shannon's review into historical child sexual abuse at St John Ambulance continues to re-traumatise survivors. Justice delayed is justice denied #BreakTheSilence

Has the #AttorneyGeneral decided it is in the 'Public Interest' to continue to let #IrishAirCorps toxic chemical exposure survivors suffer needlessly & die young?

The report found “a deeply deficient culture fostered by a rigid and outdated structure” that did little to modernise, and Arbour said she saw “no basis for the Canadian Armed Forces to retain any jurisdiction over sexual offences”. aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/…
