Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 June 2019
117. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of whistleblower complaints in his Department since the legislation was introduced in 2015; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25664/19]
View answerThe Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has protected disclosures procedures in place that have been developed in line with the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 and agreed upon by the Management Board. Section 22 of the Protected Disclosures Act requires that annual reports be published in relation to disclosures received by the Department. This is done via the Gov.ie website. I can confirm that there were no protected disclosures received by the Department since the Act came into force in 2014.
