Taoiseach Simon Harris has insisted that “there can be no place for anyone in the Defence Forces who has been convicted of domestic, sexual or gender-based violence”.
Ms O’Brien will hold a protest outside Leinster House on Tuesday evening, just days after thousands took to the streets to protest against the suspended sentence. “Her courage has shone a light not just on one thing, but on a number of very concerning situations.

Mr Harris denied that the Government was talking in “soundbites” about Ms O’Brien’s case and argued it was taking gender-based violence seriously.
