Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment

I understand that ESB has a formal protected disclosures policy in place, in line with the provisions of the Protected Disclosures Act, 2014. In accordance with section 22 of the Protected Disclosures Act, 2014, the ESB publishes a report each year in its Annual Report setting out the number of protected disclosures made to it during the preceding year and the action (if any) taken in response to those protected disclosures.
