View answerThe Protected Disclosures in the Public Interest Bill 2012 is included in the Government’s Legislation Programme with an expected publication date early in 2013.
The specific definitions to be included in the proposed legislation are currently being considered by my Department in consultation with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel taking into account submissions made on the legislation and observations received on the General Scheme from the Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform.
