The Tánaiste has been very consistent in his messaging that allegations or complaints of a potentially criminal nature should be reported to An Garda Síochána without delay.

Further to the clarification provided by the Deputy, I have asked the military authorities to provide the details in respect of internal military investigations where members have been found to have engaged in domestic, sexual or gender-based violence. I will revert to the Deputy with a reply as  soon as possible.
