Summary
A former Defence Forces officer, 2LTB, denies allegations of abusing recruits in the 1990s, including forcing one to eat cigarette butts and humiliating others with forced dancing and singing. The claims center on Oliver Muillaney, a 19-year-old recruit who died by suicide two days after the alleged abuse. 2LTB, now retired colonel, insists he never mistreated anyone and admits he was unprepared for his role, lacking any formal training for the position. The tribunal, established in 2024 to investigate widespread abuse, heard testimony from the Women of Honour group and RTÉ’s 2021 documentary. Proceedings continue as the tribunal weighs evidence from decades-old claims.
