Some complaints received by Gardaí date back to the early 1960s.
The Garda Commissioner says he’s committed to pursuing 'predators' within the Defence Forces.
Drew Harris says a 'national operation' has been set up within An Garda Síochána to investigate any claims of sexual assault from retired or serving soldiers.
26 complaints have already been received by Gardaí, some dating back to the early 1960s.
Former detective and current private investigator in Mullingar, Pat Marry, says the Gardaí are very capable of dealing with these crimes:
It's anticipated the Garda Commissioner will meet the Women of Honour group in relation to the sexual assault complaints.
That's according to the Tanaiste.
The Women of Honour group welcomed the move, but said they had not been made aware of criminal complaints.
Tanaiste and Defence Minister, Micheal Martin, says it's an operational matter for gardai:
Questions remain over how the past complaints of assault and sexual assault are dealt with.
That's according to the Women of Honour group.
Former army captain and member of Women of Honour, Diane Byrne, says the commissioner's use of the term 'predator,' is appropriate:
