Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2017
848. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the number of persons that have submitted protected disclosures regarding hazardous working conditions at Casement Aerodrome; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11864/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that three protected disclosures, which have been the subject of previous Parliamentary Questions, have been made to my Department which relate to allegations concerning health and safety in the Air Corps. Each of the three disclosures was made by a different individual. Under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, I have an obligation to protect the identity of those making disclosures under the Act and in this context it would be inappropriate for me to comment on the identity of those making such disclosures.
