The Women of Honour group met with Mr Martin, who is also the Minister of Defence, on Monday afternoon.
A report into allegations of rape, sexual harassment and bullying in the Defence Forces will be a “watershed moment”, Tánaiste Micheál Martin is understood to have said.
It will be published on Tuesday, but the women affected were not shown a copy of the report or given details at its meeting with Mr Martin. “[The Tánaiste] gave no indication at all if that was going to be the case and we did push. He told us he wants to meet us again very soon, maybe next week.
