We are at a critical juncture with the Defence Forces in terms of how allegations of abuse are dealt with. The Tánaiste has to take the bull by the horns. Morale in the Defence Forces is very low. I cannot imagine what it is like for ordinary, decent, professional soldiers in the Defence Forces who serve with honour and pride to feel like they are constantly under attack and that the Government and the legislation are letting them down. It is something the Tánaiste has to take seriously. "Two to take her down, and two to take her out" was what Mr. Crotty said. It is time the Tánaiste took those kind of people down and out of the Defence Forces, so that ordinary, decent, professional soldiers can continue to serve with pride and honour.
