Ann Power
Ms Justice Ann Power is the sole member of the Defence Forces Tribunal in Ireland, established to investigate allegations of widespread abuse and misconduct within the military, particularly following claims made by a group of female veterans known as the Women of Honour. She has taken a pivotal role in narrowing the scope of evidence gathering due to the extensive amount of documentation requested, acknowledging the challenges posed by the volume of files, which date back to 1983.
