Question:

194. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance if he will clarify the nature of the one case of protected disclosure which the Central Bank of Ireland reported it had received during the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015. [39524/15]

Written answers

On 30 June 2015 the Central Bank published a report on its website relating to the number of protected disclosures made to it and action taken in response for the period between 1 July 2014 and 30 June 2015. This is in line with the duties of public bodies under Section 22 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014.

That report noted the Central Bank had received one protected disclosure in the relevant time period, which was investigated thoroughly by an independent party, with the outcome communicated to the persons concerned.

It would not be appropriate for me to clarify the nature of the protected disclosure in question, particularly given section 22 requires that the report does not enable the identification of the persons involved.
