Kildare Senator says the Minister must make sure this never happens again

The revelations have been labelled 'deeply disturbing' by Sinn Fein, and 'toxic' by the Social Democrats.
Labour Senator Mark Wall, who is from Athy, says the accounts given by those women must be investigated thoroughly
“No woman should ever have to experience what was described in the show.

“The Minister must appoint at independent person to investigate the culture and practices as they relate to misogyny, harassment and bullying within the Forces.” 💬 @MarkWall1 👇 https://t.co/1O6aQYdqfS
