Irish Tánaiste introduces new complaints process for Defence Forces amid criticism it's premature.

The Tánaiste, Micheal Martin, introduced a new complaints process for the Irish Defence Forces, appointing Kevin Duffy as the interim grievance manager. The Women of Honour, a support group for Defence Forces members, criticized the move as premature, calling it a "PR exercise" and questioning its effectiveness before a full tribunal of inquiry is completed. The government plans a statutory inquiry into misconduct in the forces following an independent review.
