Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance the steps he has taken regarding allegations by whistleblowers of wrongdoing, whereby they conducted audits for the Central Bank of Ireland and were subsequently dismissed from their employment as a result of refusing to doctor figures.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy has not provided specific details of the allegations to which she refers, I cannot provide a full response to this question.
The Protected Disclosures Act 2014 provides for redress for individuals who are penalised for making a protected disclosure. If a person believes that they have been penalised for such a disclosure, they are entitled to make a complaint to the Rights Commissioner.
Furthermore, in the case of the Central Bank, the Governor is required to provide a report to the Central Bank Commission at least annually on any action taken or not taken in response to protected disclosures.
