Anthony O’Brien was a young soldier in the 1980s when he was told to drive a commandant home from the Curragh Camp. Once on the Kildare back roads, the officer put his hand on O’Brien’s knee “and moved it right up towards my privates”. “I told him to get off me and he asked me what I was going to do,” O’Brien recalled. “I told him I was going to crash this saloon if he didn’t get his hand off my leg. He just whipped his hand off me and said ‘you’re no f***ing fun, O’Brien’.”
