Cathal Crotty: ‘Do your jobs’ urges Irish soldier assault victim

He added there can be no “hiding place” in the defence forces for people who have been convicted of these types of crimes.

Mr Harris also praised the victim, saying Ms O’Brien has “shone a very serious light in relation to the defence forces” and that “it raises very grave and serious questions”.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Irish Defence Forces said it could not act until due process had been completed in court.

“It is then a matter for the relevant defence forces authorities in accordance with military regulations.

“In the cases referred to the media, the defence forces can confirm that these proceedings have commenced.”

They said the defence forces “unequivocally condemns any actions by serving personnel that are contrary to military regulations or that do not reflect out values”.

“Any conviction in a civilian court has implications for the retention and service of members of the defence forces, as stipulated in military regulations,” they added.

The taoiseach said he wants to meet Ms O’Brien after any further legal proceedings have concluded.
